I'm not sure how I feel about Charles Manson dropping dead. In some ways I'm happy because this was a nasty individual, really a sneaky underhanded cocksucker if ever there was one. . On the other hand, I have a bit of a soft spot for boogeymen whose evil is badly blown out of proportion by the vindictive media.
I am also kind of flummoxed about this person's uncanny ability to hoodwink dumb young females. Some of these girls were not bad looking either, at least what, 45 years ago, they weren't. I looked at some pictures of these little witches after I found about Manson and there are/were at least four or five of them that I would have been delighted to hammer when they were in their prime. And to think that creepy hairy little weirdo had his run of them and fucked it up by going to the extremes of orchestrating a series of unnecessary murders of a bunch of high-profile victims.
Anyway I'm a little young to really feel the impact of Manson. I was not yet born when he went off the deep end and got himself completely screwed into the ground. Despite this I still find him to be one of the iconic bad guys of our time. I'm going to put him below Hitler, above Crazy Horse, below Bill Clinton, above Tony Romo, below Idi Amin, slightly above Malcolm X, below Osama bin Laden, and above Ted Kennedy, as far as being irredeemable pieces of shit.
So long funny man.
