Transgressive Rocker Marilyn Manson

Shock-rock star Marilyn Manson has developed a following as a cross-dressing anti-Christ. He's been likened to Alice Cooper for his ghoulish theatricality. He's also been the subject of Senate subcommittee hearings, and his concerts have been banned. His 1996 album "Antichrist Superstar" was a hit. He's written his autobiography "The Long Hard Road out of Hell" (Regan Books) about his childhood as Brian Wagner in a dysfunctional home in Canton, Ohio. He's also got a new album, "Mechanical Animals" (Uni/Intersope) and is on the current cover of Rolling Stone. (REBROADCAST FROM 2/24/98)
