...There was a bohemian hitchhiker thing going on [30 years ago],” Iturralde said, “but we don’t want to narrow our brand image to one vagabond readership...
Many are the wonders of modern tourism--economical packages, efficient tours, reliably standardized accommodations, every detail adjusted to make the traveler feel at home while abroad.

(Manson starts his Guns, God and Government tour in Birmingham, England, this week.) Now their nihilistic fans will just have to hope Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake can hang on--and get a whole lot weirder...
