Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer

And so at the Genesis of our week of giving thanks comes news of the death of " no name Maddox" ( so it says on his birth certificate) at the age of 83......his biological father was a con man by the name of Colonel Scott although he was never in the Army.....his mother married soon after no names birth and he was then called Charlie and took his step dad's surname of Manson....in and out of juvenile homes from West Virginia to Nebraska by way of Indianapolis and then stints in state and federal prisons ; he ultimately found himself in the deserts of California in the mid 1960's ....an aspiring singer and songwriter......he befriended Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and moved into his house, along with his ever growing harem of young girls... through Wilson he met record producer Terry Melcher...and had a successful meeting at Melcher and girlfriend Candice Bergen and Melchers rented house at 10050 Cielo drive..... Melcher agreed to produce Charlie's album and also film a documentary about the Manson Family commune...... shortly thereafter Charlie had a violent outburst in front of Melcher and Wilson at the Spahn Ranch and both men attempted to sever ties.....the album and movie were cxld.....on the night of August 9th 1969 Tex Watson,along with Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia (don't Call me Maggie) Krenwinkel visited 10050 Cielo drive at Charlie's request and murdered everyone inside.... unfortunately for Sharon Tate.... Melcher and Bergen moved out and she had moved in...... most accounts point to Charlie knowing that Melcher had moved out and that the attacks we're meant as a threat or warning that Melcher was next... although some still argue that he was in fact the intended target.... Charlie took a shit load of LSD for many years and felt that the Beatles we're sending him subliminal messages through their music about upcoming race wars.... imagine someone taking LSD and listening to the same band over and over and over? Lol.....if I were to be buried (I which I won't, cremation for me but) I could put that on my fucking gravestone......... YOU may be a Lover , But you ain't no Dancer.... lookout now.
