  2. THEME DRUGS ENSLAVE PEOPLE THEME

  3. Marilyn Manson • This song was used in the episode “Suckers” of CSI:Crime Scene Investigation • In fitting with Mechanical Animals’ strong Bowie influence, the song bears a certain amount of similarity in feeling to Bowie’s song “Fame”. (last.fm)

  4. “I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs ““Norm life baby We're white and oh so hetero and Our sex is missionary." • “In their blood-coloured and foetal darkness, the dancers continued for a while to circulate …fell in partial disintegration on the ring of couches which surrounded circle enclosing circle the table and its planetary chairs.” (85) After the Solidarity Service Ritual , the members break off into couples and have sex.

  5. Marilyn Manson • Alternative Rock • Released on Mechanical Animals album in 1998 • Second single to be released (last.fm)

  6. “””I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs” In both examples, Soma is the drug of choice. Both women show their addiction to SOMA. Both women, however, are not aware of their high usage of SOMA. They are mere products of their society. “Leninawas still sobbing… She shuddered. “Oh, I wish I had my soma.” (110) “What I had to suffer-and not a gramme of soma to be had.”(113)

  7. NON PRINT CONNECTION

  8. Norm life baby I'm just a sample of a soul Made to look just like a human being. • “Heredity, date of fertilization, membership of Bokanovsky Group were transferred from test-tube to bottle. No longer anonymous, but named, identified”(20) • All citizens of Brave New World are created from test-tubes. No one is ever born. Furthermore, the impression is given that not all civilized people are human, but clones.

  9. MARILYN MANSON Drawing inspiration from Alice Cooper, OzzyOsbourne, David Bowie, the occult, horror comics, and (by his own account) the King James Bible, Marilyn Manson established himself in the Nineties as one of the most vilified figures in rock history. (RollingStone.com)

  10. “You and I are under dosed and we're ready to fall Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all.” • “Ass!” said the Director, breaking a long silence. “Hasn’t it occurred to you that an Epsilon embryo must have an Epsilon environment as well as an Epsilon heredity?” • “The lower the caste,” said Mr. Foster, “the shorter the oxygen.” The first organ affected was the brain. After that the skeleton. At seventy per cent of normal oxygen you got dwarfs. At less than seventy eyeless monsters.(24) • The lower castes were not created to be smart. They were created dumber than the rest of society. Although seemingly infereior, the lower castes were needed to perform the menial tasks that were beneath the higher castes (i.e – cleaning, cooking, and hard labor).

  11. "There's a hole in our soul that we filled with dope And we're feeling fine." • “You do look glum! What you need is a gramme of soma.” • “One cubic centimeter cures ten gloomy.”(65-66) • In BNW, everytime a citizen is feeling depressed or comes across some hardship, all he has to do is ingest soma and his troubles are gone. Utopia is happiness.

  12. Relevancy pt. I • Drugs are chemicals. Because of their chemical structures, drugs can affect the body in different ways. In fact, some drugs can even change a person's body and brain in ways that last long after the person has stopped taking drugs, maybe even permanently. (recovergateway.org)

  13. Relevancy pt. II • Most abused drugs directly or indirectly target the brain's reward system by flooding the circuit with dopamine. (recovergateway.org)

  14. Relevancy pt. III • Although initial drug use may be voluntary, drugs have been shown to alter brain chemistry, which interferes with an individual's ability to make decisions and can lead to compulsive craving, seeking and use. (recovergateway.org)
