EVERYONE WILL SUFFER NOW - first MM
inteview about Twiggy's rejoin.
Question: "Not long ago you had ruled out the possibility of working with
Twiggy Ramirez again, going so far as to say that you didn't have much in common
as friends anymore. Why the change of heart, and how did your reunion with your
long-term friend and collaborator materialize?"
Marilyn: "Reflecting on last year, I have to say that it was a big deal
for me to stay up and count down the moments until “6 am Christmas morning...” I
had waited a year to be able to actually sing that. I was with Evan, Rudy – my
friend, the magician – and I was with Twiggy. There were a few other assholes
that managed to squeeze themselves in the room, but I kicked them out. They
didn’t have the right to be in the same room when our experience took place. It
wasn’t our first moment of reuniting, but it was the first time we actually got
to talk.
Right before we left for the very last leg of the tour, I was staying at The
Roosevelt Hotel. It’s very famous for being haunted. I’m not sure how I feel
about ghosts. I know I have said in the past, “Honey I’m going to haunt your
vagina with my dick ghost.” I know that I’ve had experiences with Ouija boards,
but my cats were barking this time. Cats don’t normally bark, but they were
barking at the ceiling and at strange noises. Ironically, I had a portrait of
Bowie that Mick Rock took hanging above my bed and across the room there was a
photograph of Sid Barret. I was in the room and we were getting ready to leave
the country. I had to meet up with my friend Jonathan Shaw who has written a few
books now. He was one of the most famous tattoo artists. He is responsible for
the “Winona Forever” – Johnny Depp, and the Captain Jack Sparrow stuff. He’ll be
tattooing me tomorrow for my birthday as a gift. I’m getting “Together as one
against all others” tattooed across my lower back – but I digress…
I went downstairs to meet Jonathan Shaw. Bowie is one of my idols, of course;
Sid Barret happens to be one of Twiggy’s biggest inspirations. That all being
said with the ghosts and strangeness and not seeing each other for this past
year. I sit down and the first person that walks into the room was Twiggy. It
was really strange – a complete coincidence out of nowhere. I would never go to
this bar that’s in this hotel unless I was staying at the hotel – although I
normally don’t go out anyway.
So we sat down and I noticed he looked a little bit sad. We were both almost in
tears seeing each other again. We’re like twin brothers in some strange ways,
although I prefer not to be blamed for certain aspects of his facial features.
He wouldn’t want to get blamed for not having as big of a penis as he does,
although mine has preserved its integrity, we’ll just say. In our five minute
conversation, he had told me he had gone through a really hard relationship
breakup very similar to mine. I could see it in his face – he’s like my little
brother, so I knew. We exchanged phone numbers and it wasn’t one of those,
“Yeah, I’ll call you”—like when John 5 always calls me – and I’ll get back to
that later…
I went back upstairs and told Evan. I didn’t know how to feel about it right
away. I was happy, but didn’t know what to do. The conversation didn’t go any
further than, “Hey, when you get back into town in six weeks, we should hang
out. Let’s get together.” I asked him, “How was it with my old pal Trent?” I
think he best described it as “A vacuum of happiness.” I guess he found out he
wasn’t in the band anymore when he read it in the press. He did have a strange
comment for me “Never in your craziest days of ever doing anything” – and I’ve
never been an extreme dick in any way to Twiggy because I’ve never needed to. We
never had a falling out or anything like that. I’ve had a reputation of not
being the most polite gentleman in the past – that’s putting it lightly. “Never
in your worst days could you have made my life as uncomfortable and miserable as
it was this last year.” The good news is it’s over.
We joked a little bit. I said, “You know what I’m sick and tired of? I’ve been
on tour for a year. I’ll get a hangover, I go to complete extremes. I outdo the
Shop Boys that mention me in their song Party Like a Rockstar. I go beyond that
on a daily basis and every day I wake up and say, ‘God damn it. Why can’t I die?’”
Being immortal sucks, unless you’ve got a beautiful girlfriend.
I got an email from Twiggy while I was off in some foreign land – New Zealand, I
think. It was a picture of a dick. I’m very accustomed to him doing that. He
likes to show me his dick. I felt like the bit of life that seemed to have been
beaten out of him or whatever reasons in the past year. The twinkle in his eye
was represented by the twinkle on his dick in the picture. It made me smile and
I decided to call him. “We should get together and play some songs.” I said,
“Yeah, I want to make a new record. I don’t want any rules, I just want to have
some fun. Something new, something different.” I didn’t really relate that to
Tim, because he plays guitar and I assumed that would be something that would be
treading on what he felt was his territory. In the ironic sense, obviously, he
replaced Twiggy. There’s some awkwardness there – although I can’t speak for
either of them."
