The Beatles – Helter Skelter Lyrics 23 years ago
i just checked out "helter skelter" and i didn´t like, what i read, so i decided to sign up and place a comment to put things right...

now read - all who are interested in how this song is related to the manson family:

it is not true, that the beatles got inspiered by the murders - FACT!!!

charles manson believed that the beatles were sending him messages through their songs. he saw a race-war coming up between blacks and whites - of which he preached to his disciples, the so called "manson family".
he gave this war the name "helter-skelter" named after the song.
in the song he heard machineguns and pigs. when he realized, that his "helter-skelter-war" wouldn´t start, he decided to start it by himself. he went out with the family to commit the murders. the murderers stole a wallet in the polanski´s house and it was dropped in a toilet in a petrol-station in a "black area". then - so he thought -the war would start. he believed, that the blacks would win the war and kill all the white population. he and his family would escape and hide under the earth surface in the "bottomless pit" (described in the bible) which he saw located in death valley. after a long period of time the children of the family would arise out of the bottomless pit, kill all the blacks and then rule the world.

there is a lot more to this story but this version is enough for you to know.

all the beatles wanted to do with this song is to outrock pete townsend - THAT´S ALL

peace!!!!!!, fnord
