The fact that they encountered one of The Beach Boys seemingly by pure chance was proof enough that Manson was telling the truth — that he was as powerful as he promised and that they would be wise to follow him and his crazed ambition. Kind of like Dylan, but different because it was hard to glimpse a true message in them, but the songs were fascinating. "I gave [Wilson] a bullet because he changed the words to my song," Manson recalled in a 1993 interview with Diane Sawyer. The Beach Boys even recorded one of Manson’s songs, “Cease to Exist,” renaming it “Never Learn Not to Love” and releasing it as a B-side. He was quite good.”. And he was far from the only bold musician to be fascinated by the madman. "If it was true, I would have heard it before.". A Rolling Stone interview with several members of The Beach Boys revealed that Wilson’s expenses from Manson included a $1,200 bill from the Altadena dairy company (costing about $9,000 in today’s currency) and a lofty sum in penicillin treatments to quell an outbreak of gonorrhea among members of the Family.

But the adventurous spirit often leads to flirtations with darkness, as indicated by Wilson’s relationship with Manson. But while Wilson seemed to be enthralled with Manson’s musical talent, many of his guests were not so impressed. Returning to the Family’s residence at Spahn Ranch without a record deal, Manson was even further vexed by the release of The Beach Boys’ song ‘Never Learn Not to Love,’ which was adapted from one of Manson’s songs ‘Cease to Exist.’ The BBC reported that Manson apparently signed over his rights to the writer's royalty in exchange for a one-off cash payment and a motorcycle, but the aspiring musician was incensed that Wilson decided to change some of the original lyrics. “Dennis was aware enough of what Charlie was capable of which was why he slept with a gun under his pillow,” journalist David Dalton said in “Helter Skelter.”. “Dennis used to call Charlie ‘The Wizard,’” Jakobson recalled in “Helter Skelter.” “He really thought that Charlie was magical.”. According to the docuseries, the girls were Manson Family members Ella Jo Bailey and Patricia Krenwinkel, the later who would participate in the Tate-LaBianca murders a year later. Music producers Gregg Jakobson and Terry Melcher were among the many celebrities who were introduced to Manson at Wilson’s home.

Another Manson girl, Catherine “Gypsy” Share, described the first time she met Manson at Wilson’s estate. Asked about his son’s relationship with Manson, Dennis’ father Murry Wilson told Rolling Stone, “I told my sons a long time ago: be careful who you choose as your friends.”. Share told producers of "Helter Skelter" that Manson first approached her wearing what appeared to be a silk robe and matching harem pants, which she later discovered were fashioned out of Wilson's bedsheets.

Manson is the subject of EPIX's new docuseries "Helter Skelter: An American Myth," which chronicles the cult leader's unsuccessful foray into the Hollywood music scene. And I truly believe that if Manson had never been introduced to Melcher, he still would have found some way to infiltrate show business. “Charlie was teaching Dennis how to play the guitar and Dennis welcomed Charlie and us girls into his home, and we would take his Rolls Royce and go dumpster diving.”. The trio headed back to his mansion in the Pacific Palisades. The next few months saw Manson and his cadre of women moving in with Wilson, who allowed them to leech from his superstar status in exchange for group sex and servitude. While I’m sure Young doesn’t mean anything by the above paragraph, it shows that, as artists, we’re often far too eager to fetishize the strange, the otherworldly, whatever you want to call it. He was discovered in the waters off Marina del Rey after drunkenly diving in the frigid surf.

With Melcher no longer living there, members of the Manson Family instead killed actress Sharon Tate and her four houseguests that fateful evening. Afterwards, Wilson’s friend and fellow musician Van Dyke Parks claimed to have witnessed Wilson viciously assault Manson in response to the threat, according to The Guardian. That is not to say that Manson and his family did not reap more than their fair share of benefits while riding Wilson’s coattails.
