Hip Glossary – Charles Manson

Charles Manson: Convicted along with his followers of the 1969 murders of Sharon Tate and the La Biancas. Manson had created his own cult out in the California desert. In his warped mind, he believed that John Lennon’s song “Helter Skelter” was a call to war and mayhem. He used mind control to get his followers to do whatever he wanted. He is still serving his life sentence.
