Biography

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

Charles Milles Manson (born November 12th 1934, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States) is an inmate serving life in the California penal system since his conviction in 1970 for involvement in multiple murders. Before the murders, he was on the distant fringe of the Los Angeles music industry, chiefly through a chance association with Beach Boy Dennis Wilson. After his arrest, recordings of songs written and performed by him were released commercially, attributed to The Manson Family. The Beach Boys themselves had already recorded one of Manson’s songs, “Cease to Exist”, as “Never Learn Not To Love”, although without credit to Manson. More recently, artists including Guns N’ Roses and Marilyn Manson have covered songs by Manson.

Manson had met Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson and his associate Terry Melcher, the son of actress Doris Day. Gram Parson’s manager Phil Kaufman recorded Manson’s songs on a reel to reel tape, and the Beach Boys somehow ended up rearranging a Manson composition (recorded on September 11, 1967) in 1968. The song chosen was Manson’s song “Cease to Exist”, which the Beach Boys retitled “Never Learn Not to Love”, and much to Manson’s chagrin, when it appeared as a b-side, his name was left off the credits.

According to Van Dyke Parks, Manson came around and threatened Dennis Wilson and Melcher, but Wilson kicked Manson’s ass. Legend has it that, seeking revenge, Manson looked up Melcher’s address, but Melcher had moved, and pregnant movie actress Sharon Tate was living at the location by the time Manson’s cohorts arrived for mayhem in the summer of 1969.

    Can anyone provide evidence or proof that Charles used his magical powers to control people with LSD? (btw, most anyone who has tried LSD will laugh at the idea that someone can control you under the influence of any psychedelic). Besides testimony from the actual MURDERERS themselves (who were coerced into supporting vincent bugliosi's "helter skelter" theory by way of threat - Gas chamber, we'll take your baby away, and who knows what else).

    I was so obsessed with this guy in high school, I listened to lie well over 100 times, by looking at the play count in my old iTunes library. True outcast / outsider music. Manson is a mesmerizingly interesting character. Fuck the haters.

    I like FridaLouise's comment, but I also wonder if he is as sick as we are told he is. And if he actually is, I find it very interesting how someone with such twisted characteristics can produce such beautiful music, written or improvised.
