ON this date in 1997 - Marilyn Manson stopped a show in Honolulu, Hawaii, shortly after falling onstage and severing an artery in his hand.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, working the lighting for the show, thanked their other Tech buddies and quietly closed up their board.

Mr. P told Bun later..."See that, just proved the existence of God; why else would he force the show's stop other than to save us from ourselves and that Manson thingy..."
