Marilyn Manson wiU have to sit out the Six Flags Darien Lake stop on the 2003 Ozzfest tour. The amusement park says the shock rocker's act is not appropriate for the venue. Manson, known for his ghastly, cadaverous look and macabre lyrics, is usually considered one of the headliners of the tour, which also includes artists such as Korn, Disturbed, Chevelle and Ozzy Osbourne.
