(JAN. 22) WENN - FOURTH - INTERNATIONAL MUSIC NEWS - MARILYN MANSON GIVES
DRUGS FOR CHRISTMAS

Shock rocker MARILYN MANSON has unconventional Christmas shopping tactics -
he visits drug dealers.

Manson - real name BRIAN WARNER - admits he gives pals drugs for the
yuletide season because he can't be bothered visiting department stores and
battling it out with the crowds.

The I DON'T LIKE DRUGS (BUT THE DRUGS LIKE ME) singer, who is touring
Australia, says, "I give them narcotics actually but I have to wrap them up
to avoid the suspicions of the police in case they stop me." (EF/SMH/AFW)
