: The Beatles and Manson connection has been
: largely exaggerated and fabricated for the
: purposes of storytelling. The only real
: connection was writing "Healter
: Skelter" in blood on the wall. I've
: watched a dozen interviews with those
: people, numbering into hundreds of hours of
: video, and they will rarely (and I do mean
: RARELY) ever mention any real connection to
: Beatles music. They didn't even have
: electricity so when would they have heard
: much of this? Perhaps Beatles management
: just insinuated themselves into that story
: for publicity purposes (just like the bigger
: than Jesus was a planned publicity stunt as
: well and perpetuating their own Paul Is Dead
: "myth" that no one but no one
: could ever really believe).
: The Manson murders were to appear to be
: "copycat" so that their friend
: Bobby would be released as a suspect in the
: murder of Gary Hinman. The Tate house was
: mistakenly believed to still belong to Terry
: Melcher after he passed on Manson's music,
: and those were the main motivations. Wallets
: and ID from the victims were left in ghetto
: bathrooms to lead police to black suspects
: and conspiracy theory of racial civil war.
: Helter Skelter and Blackbird as themes for a
: revolution were minor incidental ideas
: (a/k/a idle chit chat) with no real
: validity and no reference in first-hand
: account books by Watson, Fromme and Atkins.
: Dennis Wilson, like most hippie type
: musicians was probably just hanging out with
: whoever had weed.

: I felt an affinity with Dennis as I had with
: several other friends who were not famous
: but tragic nonetheless.
: It may have been undiagnosed bipolarity.
: One minute they are a genius and the next as
: crazy as crazy gets. You get pulled into
: their world and find there are no governs,
: just wild abandon. You want to help but you
: can't really, and then you find a way into
: their psyche through the higher levels of
: creativity. But, this requires a total
: submission. Not only that, it could and
: would bring out the best and worst in you.
: Still, you keep at it until you reach that
: place in the all encompassing universe, that
: zen, that nirvana...some ethereal place that
: is your's and your cohort's.
: It is then that you realize that you are the
: bystander. Even the enabler. Possibly you
: are the muse. Used and abused. It all must
: come to an early end for these tortured
: souls. It's a wise man who keeps his
: distance. It's a fool who looks the other
: way.

: In a famous tale among classic rock
: researchers,SAC friend and Beach Boy Dennis
: Wilson most unfortuitously struck up
: relations with Charlie Manson and his so
: called "family" and was
: subsequently bilked out of a gold record and
: monies numbering in the hundreds of
: thousands by the infamous clan of cut
: throats.Sounds to me like every other week
: several of these sociopaths were crawling
: from the shadows in the 60's and early
: seventies claiming to be spurred on by a
: combination of Bible interpretaion and
: lascivious obsession with one of the current
: rock bands.Manson had the Beatles and their
: White Album and I also heard a story in a
: Moody Blues documentary about another
: madman's claim of their affiliation with an
: imminent world apocalypse.SAC or friends
: ever encounter any of these lysergically
: charged self appointed prophets of doom?
