New Project Rock Opera

I've decided to go back to something I started when I was in my mid teens first listening to bands like Pink Floyd and the Who and that's write the libretto for a rock opera. The idea is very basic. the name is Bettie Kaczynski: Byproduct of Society The main character is a guy named Bettie used as sort of an homage to theatrical rock. The name Bettie Kaczynski is in case you haven't guess is satirical of Marilyn Manson. I don't like his music and I don't like his name but I liked the way he coined his name. Of course its beauty meets society's dark side like his band members Gidget Gein and Twiggy Ramirez. And while the last name is always going to be twisted I just hate Charles Manson too much (being a racist man who twisted the Bible's and the Beatles' message for his own twisted ambitions) to get pass that in the case of Marilyn Manson and plus Marilyn Monroe was just a typical Hollywood bombshell nothing unique except an empty ego. I chose Bettie Page because she's a pinup model who was the victim of domestic abuse who found an escape in fetish modeling and was barred from movies despite the fact she was hotter than other actresses who couldn't act and was deemed a threat by Congress (it's interesting to note Billy Wilder refused to work with Marilyn Monroe a third time because she was just a terrible actress in his opinion and Bettie's photos are no more obscene than anything by Marilyn who also posed for Playboy) And I picked Ted Kaczynski the unabomber because he was an eccentric loner who killed by technology to ironically prove technology's danger to mankind and he is suspected of having Asperger's Syndrome so he fascinates me. As a Jehovah's Witness (if not somewhat lapsed recently by depression) I am conscience minded of the entertainment I view but I have a laxed view of entertainment as it is really very subjective and any standard has inherit hypocrisies and my personal philosophy toward music and comedy is more liberal if you pardon the political phrase than toward films and video games but sometimes violence or sex in one situation may seem more justified by what is implied by the situation (ie does the storyline fixed around the offensive acts condone or praise aberrant behavior or does it emphasis the troubles of these situations without glorifying them) So as guidelines and inspirations on how to make this epic of mine I will listen to some of the following albums of rock opera that I hope I will enjoy as well (Random order)
