Charles Manson –
Musician, cult leader, Cincy boy.
November 12, 1934 – November 19, 2017.
Aged 83 years.
Most recognized for: In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Chuck said: “A long time ago, being crazy meant something. Nowadays, everybody’s crazy.” But even in a world of lunatics, Charlie was still head & shoulders above the rest. With some lysergic assistance, he convinced a handful of doe-eyed hippies that it was their duty to instigate an apocalyptic race war. You gotta hand it to some people, man… they really know how to sell an idea.
