This weeks featured blog is actually ran by a close friend of mine. The focus of the blog is on the musical output of the notorious Charles Manson. Although the focus is on his music, you will also find several Manson related entries, including interviews and more. Charles Manson may be the most notorious criminal in the history of the United States, despite having never been actually charged with the murder of a single individual. Fortunately there are people out there who are able to view him for what he really is, a very troubled human being with a long criminal history and rather unique insight into the world, rather than the mythological demon that the media has made him out to be. I don't condone the way he lived his life, nor the actions that he was partially or wholly responsible for, however I don't believe half the myths that circulate about this man. I don't believe that he has magic powers, is capable of controlling others with merely a look, etc. As I mentioned before though, he has a very unique insight into the world. The majority of what he says may seem like incoherent rambling, but there are bits of worldly wisdom that seep out at times during the course of his lengthy rants. His views on the environment are especially relevant today considering the major worldwide environmental crisis that we face. Perhaps in a better world Manson could have avoided the circumstances that caused him to end up in prison for the rest of his life, and do a lot of good for the world. However that wasn't meant to be, and instead with are left with a notorious legacy, shrowded in mystery, and of course... his music.
