Helter Skelter

And then, of course, In My Life by Crosby, Susan Nash.

It's amazing to me that Charles Manson took songs like, beautiful songs like Blackbird, and then, of course, Helter Skelter and interpreted it as being about a race war.

Blackbird, where did he get it?

Well, anyways.

And they basically were killed at their home.

Again, messages were left at the scene, including the phrase Helter Skelter, which was basically a misspelling of the Beatles song, Helter Skelter, which basically became something... synonymous with the murders and kind of like um a strange ideology that they kind of shared about it yeah so um the murder that that particular murder of the couple um you know became particularly important uh to the prosecution because it helped establish uh that the violence was not like you know you know, one of those things that, like, it was just like a one-off.

It was kind of like the attacks had left seven people dead at this point, you know, including the Tates and four other companions plus the couple.

So, you know, it did kind of raise a lot of questions about Manson's exact role and who he was to the community and what the hierarchy was.

You know, but, you know, it's cultural legacy has always kind of like blurred the lines between the history and the mythology.

Obviously, the Beatles connection is, you know, is real in the sense that Manson admitted their music was, you know, basically and he interpreted it through his own sort of like.

background and ideas like his own apocalyptic beliefs it does it doesn't really mean that the band inspired the murders or the song contained instructions on how to perform those murders or even be violent the helter skelter theory was manson's interpretation do you know nothing more amplified by his kind of you know

Well, he said the police were the ones who...

which is just horrifying.

So I think that, you know, people wanted to go and do the next one and they wanted to help because also they were told that like, this was going to be the thing that starts Helter Skelter and starts the, the not end of times, but.

It's

very like, it is a, in my opinion, like a drug addicts thought process, you know, it's a race war thing.

It's so crazy and makes literally no sense at all.

And I don't know why that was the reason.

thing that he was going with because even there's a scene that we have in the movie where they're at dinner and he's like oh have you heard the white album have you been listening to the beatles like helter skelter they're saying that there's going to be this race war and this and that and the other guy's like uh i didn't i didn't get that that's not what i heard Not what I heard on that song.

So it is kind of weird how he got that outside of just, he just wanted to inside as much violence as possible, which is really just.

which is just horrifying.

So I think that, you know, people wanted to go and do the next one and they wanted to help because also they were told that like, this was going to be the thing that starts Helter Skelter and starts the, the not end of times, but it's

very like, it is a, in my opinion, like a drug addicts thought process, you know, it's a race war thing.

but we're going to – it's black people are bad, but they're going to start the race war, but then we're going to hide from the race war, and then they're going to kill themselves, but we're going to help do that, and then we're going to come back up and over – like it doesn't – it's not a linear plan.

No, no, it's not.

It's so crazy and makes literally no sense at all, and I don't know why that was the – thing that he was going with.

Cause even there's a scene that we have in the movie where they're at dinner and he's like, Oh, have you heard the white album? Have you been listening to the Beatles? Like Helter Skelter? They're saying that there's going to be this race war and this and that.

And the other guy's like, uh, I didn't.

which is just horrifying.

So I think that, you know, people wanted to go and do the next one and they wanted to help because also they were told that like, this was going to be the thing that starts Helter Skelter and starts the, the not end of times, but it's

So it is kind of weird how he got that outside of just he just wanted to insert as much violence as possible, which is really just.

I guess that was a little rough, but Billy Idol recovered pretty well by the sounds of it.

Sammy did Draw the Line and Helter Skelter.

I saw some clip of Draw the Line and, you know, I'm not sure if he got the lyrics right or not.

The sound wasn't, and I don't know if he was mumbling or just whoever's phone wasn't the best, but...
