According to Brian's autobiography, "Dennis supplied the album's oddest cut (the album being 20/20) - Never Learn Not To Love. He's credited as writer, but the song owed itself to his strange new friend, a wild-eyed, long-haired guitarist-songwriter. It was originally titled "Cease to Exist" and Dennis liked the song. He pushed it as a favor to the vagabond musician he called "The Wizard". "Why do you call him the wizard", I (Brian) asked. "Everyone does, " said Dennis. "But what's his name, his real name?" asked Brian. "Charlie," Dennis smiled. "Charlie Manson". Good call, Jeannie.
