Manson: Helter Skelter
built 235 days ago
Manson is forever associated with "Helter Skelter," the term he took from the Beatles song of that name and construed as a race-based conflict that the crimes were intended to precipitate. This unusual connection with rock music linked him, from the beginning of his notoriety, with pop culture, in which he became a symbol of transgression, rebellion, evil, ghoulishness, bloody violence, homicidal psychosis, and the macabre. Ultimately, the term was used as the title of the book that prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi wrote about the Manson murders.

Manson 's odd interpretation of the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter" warned of a coming race war in which "blackie" would win. It says rise-- it says kill." Helter Skelter was to be the last war on earth: "It would be all the wars that have been fought built one on top of the other, something that no man could concieve of in his imagination. You can't concieve of what it would be like to see every man judge himself and then take it out on every other man all over the face of the earth."
