Neil Young was a friend of Charlie.
Seriously.
The rest of the group had to tell him to knock it off.
Manson was a frustrated wannabe rocker.
Indicates Young had a screw loose from the early days.
One of the Beach Boys (Dennis Wilson?) hung out with Charlie, too.
I knew Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys) was a close "friend" to Manson but never read anything about Neil Young knowing Manson.
After my freshman year at Cincinnati, I moved to LA with the "girl-next-door" by my side. We found an apt in Hollywood about 1 year before Manson's family murdered those innocent people. It was a short 10 minute drive from my front door to the Tate home in the Hills
Even though we did not have a TV, Manson & family were everywhere in daily discussions.
One of the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson, was a friend of Manson’s and they recorded one of his songs. These crazies had plans to kill Steve McQueen who at the last minute cancelled an invitation to go to Sharon Tate’s house that night. They also had written out plans to kill Frank Sinatra and to boil Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in hot oil. Steve McQueen never again went unarmed, even while sleeping. I don’t blame him.
Something many people do not know about.
Wasnt he involved in writing a song for some rock group that became a semi successful song?
Was it a CSN&Y song?
Yea, when you’re mainlining H you judgement tends to be impaired.
