Charles Manson, cult leader and convicted murderer, dies aged 83 (thisisnocave.blogspot.co.uk).
“Charles Manson, the pseudo-satanic sociopath behind a string of killings that shocked California out of its late 1960s cultural reverie, died on Sunday after almost a half century in prison.”
An ex-con, con-man and pimp and a child of the 50s rather than 60s who was a a singer-songwriter on the fringe of the Los Angeles music industry, it was a twisted, paranoiac apocalyptic race war interpretation of The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” from their White album and pure opportunism driving his beliefs as much as anything related to Satan.
