Cease to exist

well, to be really acurate, he never killed anyone, he just brainwashed those hippie chicks into going out and butching people.

Lesson Learned. Hippies are inherntly evil.

All of you have very interesting things to say. I see that a few of you compared Manson to Hitler. I think that's a pretty good comparison, but not in the way it's been mentioned so far.

I think that Manson's music is much like Hitler's artwork. They both were extremely talented artists before they were criminal geniuses. Hitler painted some of the best paintings I've ever seen, but have you ever seen one of his paintings featured in an art museum? Hitler is not known for his art, but for the horrendous crimes he committed. I think that it's the same with Charles Manson.

Manson was an artist before he was a killer, and he was a talented one. I can appreciate his music as long as I don't associate it with what he did after his musical career. I'm not going to go and buy a Charles Manson CD from e-bay, but if I come across a Charles Manson song, I'll listen to it, and I'll probably enjoy it.

And to those of you who are arguing that Charles Manson was not a murderer: you're arguments are pretty futile. He may not have physically murdered anyone, but he is still responsible. He instructed The Family on who to kill, and how to do it. He took advantage of the fact that they all had extremely malleable minds. He used The Family's bodies' as his own to murder, and thus the blood is on his hands.

So I guess my point is that, although Charles Manson is responsible for some of the most horrible and widely publicized murders of the century, he was a musician before he was a killer. I will continue to listen to his songs as if they are those of an artist, not what he is today.

What the fuck do any of these comments have to do with this song? You assholes.

why does no one post anything on charley mansons song?

I agree he's a smart man. Ofcourse what he did was not right. Listen to some of his speeches and think about what he's saying. It's basically that we're all just killing ourselves and we are all just hypocrits. He knows more than you people who judge him.

Nikkie, I respect the fact that you spoke your mind on such a topic, but I am thrown off by the fact that it seems you have never even heard Charlie speek. He was not a very educated man, he went to prison at the age of 12 and never went back to school, he got out at around twenty. But still, for a man with little to no education he was still quite the bright bulb. If you come back to read this then I would suggest looking up some of his quotes and speeches. He has many grammar mistakes but when you listen to what he is saying, it is on the verge of genius. And it's about simple things like government, love, etc. Things that you tend to know more about the less you are "educated" or as i like to call BRAINWASHED! and for someone to say that Charlie brainwashed those "hippies" i think is wrong. He never brainwashed them. he taught and convinced them. The young men and women that he took in had no homes, they wern't victims of Charlie they were victims of big brother (The Man) all charlie did was accept them, take them up and taught them that as long as you do something out of love for your brothers r sisters then it is not wrong, that there is no wrong in love. Whether he be right or wrong, thats all he did. And as far as him being responsible for the deaths, maybe those specific deaths, but the kind of people he took up would have ended up killing people for money anyway. All Charlie did was throw a little love and brotherhood into it.

and to you Dressed2Depress, you are right. Almost everyone of America's presidents was a college graduate from a major college and look at how much they can fuck up through their own hidden agenda. It's sad how people confuse evil for stupidity, i blame Christian propaganda and public schools. Hell, why do you think they have the common term "Evil Genius"?

Anyone who didnt know he writes songs knows nothing about him. Charles Manson is my inspiration. He has so many beliefs and stands by them... And he never really killed anyone. All humans do deserve to die.

People say i'm not good but they never, never do they say

" i never learned not to love you" I believe, that it means, that people who are educated. Can sometimes, lose the ability to love, people that are less educated, than they are. But well, as Charlie was a very hard character to understand, I might be wrong.

of course sir charles is a musician... where the hell have you been
