Marilyn Manson Arraigned in Michigan

Marilyn Manson was arraigned on September 21st on a charge of sexual misconduct in Oakland County, Michigan. Manson (a.k.a. Brian Warner) was also charged with assault and battery stemming from a July incident in which he allegedly gyrated against the head of a security guard at a Detroit-area stop on the Ozzfest tour.

A warrant was issued for Manson in August, while he was out of the country. On Friday, his attorneys entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. The sexual misconduct charge is described by prosecutors as a "high misdemeanor," which could result in a one-year prison term, while the assault and battery charge is a ninety-day misdemeanor.

A preliminary examination is scheduled for October 9th.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
