I agree with the shock rock statements. He has always tried to stay outside of the box and scare people into thinking he's some sort of deviant.
I've wondered if his entire life is orchestrated around trying to be so shocking, like some sort of grand joke on everyone else at his expense. It's a wasted life, but if the day he died there was a written letter saying, "Fooled you, I was as normal as any of you," I think I'd be more impressed by his work.
