Beyond the headlines, the parents of both murderers and murdered are forced to navigate a lonely, unspoken grief,

The courtroom doors, the heavy gavel,
Watch years of love and hope unravel.
A stranger’s blood, a lifetime lost,
But parents pay a heavy cost.
They bear the shame, the quiet blame,
The sudden curse upon their name.
While one child sits behind a grate,
Two lives are crushed by secondhand hate

Bigger Than The Beatles - Official Trailer-

Does anyone know where this film can be streamed? I can't find it anywhere, or is it not worth watching? It looks like it might be good. I'm surprised to hear Charlie's music used due to potential copyright Infringement. Thanks!

Cupid

By moss and moon, by twig and thorn,
A new-made bird is swiftly born.
Through frozen ribs, the fire brings
A desperate hunger for the wings.
Shatter death, and take the sky,
In my name, I bid you fly.

Charles Jay “Charlie Jr” White (04/10/1956-06/29/1993)

Son of Charles Milles Manson and Rosalie Jean Willis. Father of Jason Lee Freeman, Paul and Daniel White. Paul was born in 1986 and Daniel was born in 1993. Death by suicide. He was 37. Charles Manson Jr (Jay White) was buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Hopedale, Harrison County, Ohio.

Charles Manson fathered Charles Manson Jr. with his first wife Rosalie Jean Willis in 1956. After the 1969 murders, and when his father was sent to prison, Manson Jr changed his name to Jay White. Jay White's younger half-brothers would both die tragically, one from a gunshot wound, and the other from an accidental drug overdose.

It's said that he took his own life because he couldn't come to terms with who his father was. White's son, Jason Freeman, who is a kickboxing cage fighter, has in an interview expressed the wish that his father had just hung in there, and stuck around longer to meet his own grandchildren. The body of Charles Manson Sr. was handed over to his grandson Jason Freeman, and he hopes to sell Manson's estate to raise money for charity.

Juan Flynn interview starts on video @ 1:13 and Quotes over the years.

Juan Flynn (1943-2009) was born in Panama, South America After serving in the infantry in Vietnam in 1968 he went to work at Spahn Ranch for $2.50 a week plus room and board. He had already been working Spahn Ranch when Charles Manson and his friends arrived. He was employed as a ranch hand and manure shoveler and spent time with the Manson family while they lived there. Although not officially a family member, he participated in turning stolen cars into dune buggies, which became a regular source of income for the family. In return, Manson would often allow Flynn to have sex with some of the female family members

1969: "Charlie pulled me up one day out in the desert. There were tears in his eyes and he said: 'Juan, when they catch me, it's going to be like feeding me to the lions. They're going to put me far away because I have no family, no one that will help me..When I was in jail,'” Juan continued, quoting his friend, 'I noticed the bulls [guards] in there used to keep track of everything-the letters you got, the visitors who remembered you in there. I knew they could do anything to me, because I had nobody.'" I loved Spahn Ranch. It had horses, ponies, and a goat. There were red foxes, red-tailed hawks, and peregrene falcons. Marvin Gaye, Lou Rawls, and Jerry Garcia came to ride.there. And there were beautiful girls. I was Mr. Spahn's right-hand man. I cleaned 16 stalls a day and handled the horses. It was a joy. Then Charles Manson and his people came and trashed the place"

1969: Manson Murder trial..."This was the change, the turn of the Karma. Black people were to overcome white people…there was a revolution in order to balance what the white people had done to the black people.” Flynn also claimed Manson’s definition of “pig” was white “establishment.” Right before the group left the ranch, Flynn said, 22-year-old codefendant Susan Atkins went to the car and shouted behind her. “We’re going to get those…pigs. Manson grabbed me by the hair…he put a knife on my throat and he said ‘You don’t you know I’m the one who’s doing all these killings?’” Flynn recalled Manson saying. “I can’t say anything good about that guy … he tried to kill me twice, and tried to take over the ranch and everyone in it,” Flynn said. “We still don’t know what happened to one of our ranch hands — I’ve told police about that.”

2009: LA. Magazine caught up with Flynn in Pahrump, Nevada where he's stayed out of the spotlight, now retired after a career as a miner and heavy equipment operator. "The mind is the laziest organ in the body. The young people who killed for Charlie were not intelligent or strong enough to think for themselves. They did not want to take responsibility for their actions. They wanted someone else to make their decisions for them, and that’s what Charlie would do. Charlie offered to set them free" Charles Manson got away with everything. People will say, ‘He’s in jail.’ But Charlie is exactly where he wants to be.”

Lobby Cards "Manson" (1973)


Cardboard lobby cards were a uniquely American creation typically 11" X 14" heavy cardstock prints used by movie theaters from the 1910s to the 1980s. They were displayed in theater lobbies or near box offices to lure patrons. Lobby cards were phased out by the mid-1980s replaced by modern marketing, making vintage cards prized valuable memorabilia.

Charles Manson’s Secret Prison Business

In “Five to Diie” veteran journalist Ivor Davis claims Manson has become one of the richest inmates in the California corrections system by selling signed photos and other mementos he quietly smuggles out of Corcoran State Prison.

“Only he doesn’t even sign the pictures. He has fellow inmates doing an assembly line of signatures for him. It shows you he’s still manipulating people. It really boggles the mind”

“Manson has also tried to smuggle pieces of his clothing out. And he fashions these little cloth scorpions out of socks to sell. Most of them are confiscated by guards, but some make it out,” said Davis, adding that money from the proceeds is then sent to Manson’s prison trust-fund account.

He added that Manson devotee Sandra Good — who was not involved in the Manson family murders but served 15 years for sending death threats to corporate executives she accused of “polluting the earth” — occasionally helps him with cash.

"All This And World War II" Movie Soundtrack (Beatles Cover Songs)

All This and World War II is a 1976 film documentary featuring Beatles songs covered by a variety of musicians with archival World War II newsreel footage. It premiered November 11, 1976. Reviews were terrible and the film was described as tasteless and offensive. The advertising campaign for the record was as questionable as the film due to an ad depicting Hitler listening to the album.

The soundtrack on the other hand charted well in the US, Australia, and the UK. The soundtrack is notable for featuring the solo recording debut of Peter Gabriel, formerly of Genesis, singing "Strawberry Fields Forever". The album was nominated for NARM Awards "Best Selling Movie Soundtrack" A CD was finally issued in 2006.

The LP was also released in 1979 with the title "The Songs of John Lennon & Paul McCartney Performed by the World's Greatest Rock Artists" and two of the tracks "Let It Be" performed by Leo Sayer and "Because" performed by Lynsey de Paul were released on the Beatles cover version CD album "With A Little Help" issued in Europe in 1991.

Elton John’s rendition of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" released as a single in 1974 became a number one hit as did Rod Stewart's version of "Get Back" Tracks include covers by The Bee Gees, Brian Ferry, Ambrosia, David Essex, Helen Reddy, Frankie Lane, Peter Gabriel, and Tina Turner.
