Marilyn Manson Has Learned From Akon’s Mistakes

When an audience member recently flung a bottle at Marilyn Manson during a gig, beaning his bassist in the process, MM took great pains not to repeat the error of the recently indicted Akon. (Who, as you may recall, dealt with a similar bottle-thrower last summer by pulling him onto the stage and then ejecting him onto the concrete, earning Akon a misdemeanor harrassment charge.) Why the caution? Because someone was filming the incident on a cell phone, of course!

So what’s the grosser take-away from this story? The people chanting “USA! USA!” during Manson’s “subtle” hints that the crowd stomp this guy, or the fact that the forthcoming video for his new single “features several softcore sex scenes” between Marilyn and girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood? Let’s call it a draw.
