I'll bet almost no young people today can even tell you what the American revolution was about.<br /><br />BUT mention the name Charlie Manson and HIS revolution. A Mexican-American mailman said to me: "Oh, he was that guy who wanted to KILL all the minorities."<br /><br />I was about to respond when I quickly realized - IF I told him the truth - I would destroy HIS "bad-guy." AND there are 3 things you never want to take away from the "oppressed."

Right on the money though. Years ago I lived with this terribly insufferable pseudo-hippy who once remarked to me, apropos of an American talking head on the news and nothing else: "I hate Americans!" Made me ruminate on how well it would have gone over with her if I'd declared out of the blue "I hate Indians!" or "Chinese people really give me the shits!" Americans catch a lot of flak (and you forgot their Love of Jay-sus to go along with those guns and $$$- Yanks are super-materialistic, except when they're not) from us, which seems unfair because THEY'RE the ones catching flak FOR US, if y'know what I mean (think Team America). <br /><br />If anyone wants to see how happy European & Australian progressives are with prejudice when it's directed against the bastard children of 1776, go read the comments section on any article about America on the Guardian Online.

Our kid told us he didn't want to live at...RH.<br /><br />Our kid told us he didn't want to live at home anymore, our rules were stifling him. He packed his bag and left after a blazing row. He went off to have fun at the beach and break all the rules, and then he invented burgers and Coca-Cola and shakes and teenage girls, and bikinis and sex in the desert. He sent us a postcard to tell us what he was doing, and after we read it we looked at our miserable old wife and her pursed lips and her conventional disdain for the male organ and the act of love, and we decided to cope with our crippling envy by clinging to tradition and tea, and affecting disgust at the vacuousness and vulgarity of our kid. <br /><br />Then some German guy tried to burglarize our house, and - whaddaya know - our prodigal son showed up just in time and helped beat crap out of that thug's ass. Then our kid and his friends kind of hung around the neighborhood for a few decades to make sure no other bullies troubled us. And while he did that, at his own expense, we sat around bitching behind his back about his love of money and guns.<br /><br />We won't be happy until he is as old and dead (or 'European') as we are, until he too commits to funneling his hard-earned wealth into the hands of the feckless and the weak via the government, until he too gives up his right to defend himself and his kids using force and relies instead on the state to protect his life, his safety, his health. We won't be happy until he shrugs off that love of individual freedom that made him leave us in the first place. Why? Because we're as jealous as hell, even if we don't admit it to ourselves.<br /><br />Thankfully he has started down that path now. Seven years ago he voted to put a European in the White House (though people don't notice he's a European because he is also black, which is a useful distraction.)<br /><br />Robert - we are the walking dead, the zombie of civilization; if you ever have need of the British monarch again then it's too late, Rome has already fallen.MHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765688604319832245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-73498206911235192452015-07-15T04:20:29.275-04:002015-07-15T04:20:29.275-04:00I must say: I hope EVERYONE can realize Michael&#...I must say: I hope EVERYONE can realize Michael's unique "perspective" from the homeland of OUR real forefathers. It is that of the "parents" waving goodbye to THEIR children, as they set-out to conquer the world.<br /> <br />The FACT that those "children's children" one day returned to SAVE their parents from HELL itself, ONLY goes to show that every KIND of sense makes sense, in a world where even NO sense seems to prevail.<br /> <br />Of course, WE Americans seem ot have merely traded in our old KING for a mentally disabled President.<br /> <br />"God save the Queen" - just in case we might need her one day.<br /><br />Robert Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880909248364077567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-42689746784363708732015-07-14T16:42:48.318-04:002015-07-14T16:42:48.318-04:00CM gets to be an American icon because America is ...CM gets to be an American icon because America is the child that walked away from its parent/king and went its own way, founding a new type of personal freedom in doing so. The fact that CM turned this revolution to dark and cruel ends does not diminish or negate the fact that he represents America the revolutionary child more than any modern President does.<br /><br />But seriously - blacks overturning the established order yet finding themselves unable to govern even themselves without Manson's help? Did none of the Family at any point realise "Hey - that's me! I overthrew my family, walked away from my father and mother, rejected pig rule and order with Charlie's guidance, and now I am obeying Charlie's will every day! He's conning me.

Could you clarify what the position is now with regards to any royalties from LAYGG. Did the payouts end with Bartek's death, or does the right pass on indefinitely from heir to heir?<br /><br />I wonder if they ever got a dime from Mrs Kasabian;)<br /><br />LAYGG was an excellent song - if fact there are quite a few of Charlie's songs that are very good.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-62282652908022111432015-07-14T05:35:41.263-04:002015-07-14T05:35:41.263-04:00Manson's name and image was being used in the ...Manson's name and image was being used in the Punk scene and had a few of his songs covered by various bands way before Guns N' Roses took it mainstream. As most people probably already know, Henry Rollins was working on releasing a Manson LP on SST in the early 80s'. Nikolas Schreck, always the story telling, claims he turned Axl onto Manson.

NO mention of the now infamous "Helter Skelter" EXCEPT that Manson supposedly talked about an "Armageddon" involving "black" people.<br /><br />Apparently, Bugliosi in HIS magnificant performance as the world's greatest lawyer, actually created an ICON (MANSON)to be shared by ALL for generations to come.<br /><br />It is so rare for such a THING to materialize, most folks ONLY hear about it happening once in their lifetime.<br /><br />The Donald Trump situation may actually be NOW "materializing" right before our eyes, in much the same manner.<br /><br />AND if the "Manson Family" story helped knock the Mi Lai Massacre OFF the public's radar, maybe the CIA actually did the RIGHT thing - that time !<br /><br />Robert Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880909248364077567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-48389739067240519462015-07-13T02:09:09.265-04:002015-07-13T02:09:09.265-04:00Always been curious about these shirts in an idle,...Always been curious about these shirts in an idle, off-hand way - and also in Manson's transition from a simple Symbol of Evil to being simultaneously, in a Manichean way, also a symbol of Americana.
