Today in rock history, in 1971, Charlie Manson and friends are found guilty. This doesn’t have much to do with Rock except the chain of murders was triggered, in Manson’s twisted mind, by The Beatles’ “White Album” and (in particular) the songs “Helter Skelter” and “Piggies.” Here’s one of Charlie’s recorded works and, hey - the song ain’t bad! As an extra added bonus, here’s Weird Al “interviewing” ol’ Charlie. Thanks to http://www.rockintown.com/today-in-rock.html, and keep on rockin’, but in a law-abiding way!

Totally freaks me out -- it's a fine song, which of course is what freaks me out. I was expecting it to suck, sort of hoping it would suck, to tell the truth.
