Pop star Katy Perry‘s strict Christian upbringing put her in some interesting situations, one of which was picketing a Marilyn Manson concert in her youth. The daughter of two pastors, she revealed to Vogue”
“Amy Grant was our Madonna. We knew about Madonna and Marilyn Manson in my family because we picketed their concerts.”
The interview goes on to reveal that she picketed a Marilyn Manson concert in Santa Barbara, CA, handing out ‘How To Find God’ pamphlets. However, she ended up watching Manson performance with her youth pastor and wound up apparently liking it. As she went on to say that she found it: “really interesting and weird—I got it. But my house was church on Sunday morning, church on Sunday night, church on Wednesday evening; you don’t celebrate Halloween; Jesus gives you your Christmas presents; we watch Bill O’Reilly on TV. That was my whole childhood and youth and early teens. I still have conditioned layers dropping off of me by the day.”
