I was still in California when the Manson case happened. I guess having been over
flooded with Beach Boys and that case, I just tuned it all out.
Last night I picked a show that would bore me to sleep and chose the one on Manson.
Not that it matters, it was just surprising to me how quiet this connection must have been kept.
Can't blame them for that.

Did Charles Manson’s Relationship With The Beach Boys Lead Him To Murder?
 

I had heard that one of the Beach Boys had mental illness, and that they partied and fooled around with psychedelics. I can understand how they would meet up and hang with each other. That time was the time of free love, and madness.

It was Brian who had the illness, I had always heard about him and his struggles but Dennis I can't ever remember any neg. reports on him.
That is why this shocked me. Maybe that is why they had Brian's problems so much in the news during that time.

I remember reading about this in Helter Skelter. Fascinating book, especially if you're a Beatles fan. I still think of Manson's twisted interpretations of the songs on the White Album when I listen to it.

Guess that is why I hadn't heard about it, I never read that book, was going to and just never did. The White Album was not one of my favs, sort of like I knew the end of them was coming.
