The Manson Family Page #5

An average group of kids, the "Family," become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness.Director Jim VanBebber (Deadbeat at Dawn) delivers a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group, a group hell-bent on executing the brutal vision of its leader, Charles Manson. You've seen the story through the eyes of the law. Now witness it through the eyes of THE MANSOSN FAMILY.

I would sleep with anybody.

Anybody I wanted to,

or anybody

Charlie wanted me to.

He would always give

me to the meanest biker

or the craziest whoever,

because he said I could

out freak anyone with sex.

Alright, go ahead

and print that.

You know when the trial

started for the Family,

it was really

the milestone

in the death of

the Hippie Movement,

everyone really

thinks Patty Hearst...

Martin Luther King

died with love!

Kennedy died,

talking about something

he couldnt even understand,

some kind of generalized love

and he never

even backed it up!

He sucked out!

Bullshit!

Love is the only weapon

with which Ive got to fight?

Ive got a hell of a

lot of weapons to fight!

Ive got my clothes,

Ive got compasses,

I got guns,

I got dynamite,

Ive got a hell

of a lot to fight!

Ill fight, Ill fight!

[Unintelligible]

I call on you

to stop this now,

if you have any

respect at all.

Are we Black, proud,

socialists, or what are we?

Hey now, that reminds

me of something.

Remember the bookstore

where I got the poster?

OK they had both of Charlies

Albums there, both of them.

On either vinyl or CDs.

Well, he finally

made the record bins.

I think its ridiculous.

Yeah, but did you buy them?

So Terry, what was it

like to talk to Charlie?

You could take him

in very small doses.

I mean, hed throw

ten things at you,

youd be on three,

hed be on seven and getting

real physical about it.

Hed, hed bend over,

hed pick up a

handful of rocks

and hed toss them

into the air and say

See, you can throw it all away

and itll come back to you.

Were flashing with

divine harmony this morning.

I just wrote two songs

while the sun was rising.

Very, very, Groovy.

Charlie was not

willing to sell out

to the Record producers,

which is the first and

most important requirement

before the industry is

willing to handle an artist.

Do you want

professional sound!

Maybe something you can use?

I suggest you get

in the booth and ...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Whats the problem here, huh?

Many musicians say they

dont care about the money,

yet they commit themselves

to be at given places,

at certain times,

and to produce what sells.

Whether they

believe it or not.

Charlie didnt

want that success.

Charlie wanted success

on his own terms,

he didnt want

to be imprisoned.

I know whats best

for us man, I know!

Do you know anything about

the acoustics in this studio?

Do you know anything about EQ?

Do you know

anything about mixing?

I know about the Energy

Rays of a free love society,

and I know your cold

heartless technology

hasnt defined that yet?

Amen, Charlie.
