Washington Post, August 20th5 myths about MansonMyth number 2: Manson was a Hippie When the Family was indicted on murder charges, the Los Angeles Times labeled the group a “hippie clan,” and the tag has become an immutable part of the way we see them.

Inside Hook August 8th “I wrote him a bunch of letters and didn’t think in a billion years he’d call,” Day tells InsideHook. “Maybe I’d get a letter back or something. And then, out of the blue, he just called me this one time. The first time he called me, I thought he would never call again and that it would just be a story to tell at parties. Then he called again. And then he called again, and it became a reality that I could do this documentary and that he would contribute to it.” “And that even today, two years removed from his death, Manson’s story — however twisted and grim — continues to endure even two years after his death.” “He was aware of U.S. politics.
