Charles Manson

I have never found any basis to indicate that Manson was a necropheliac. (likes sex with corpses) But Vince Bugliosi has said of Manson 'death is Charlie's trip'. And this does seem to be true. But it is always others deaths that makes Charlie happy. The thought of losing his own puts him in great distress. When you look at Manson with a critical eye all you see is a very small man, powerless and a prisoner of his own sick mind.

Lie and Commemoration is the only album I could find as fact. There were individual songs that Manson tried to pedal, with some success. The Beach Boys recorded one of his songs on their 20/20 album as "Never Learn To Love". Guns n Roses recorded one of Manson's songs (medeocher) on their CD titled 'Spaghetti Incident'.

Music was one of Manson's biggest disappointments, that I think had a hand in the 'Helter Skelter' buisiness. He was enraged because Terry Melcher rejected his music and had nothing to do with Manson after listening to his songs for just a few minutes. Manson was in turn angry at Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. He felt Wilson let him down. When Wilson tried to explain that his part of the deal was to ask Melcher to listen to

Manson's songs, which he did. Manson didn't see it this way, and there were rumors that Manson was going to have Wilson 'taken out'. A threat that Wilson took seriously.
