This reminds me to check my record store for a CD of his songs. They've had it a few times. $15.

he is one crazy motherfucker.
do people (like tom snyder) not realize that he's totally taking the piss in every interview? yes he is crazy but he is also one of the most startlingly intelligent human beings on the earth, a fact that most people unfortunately fail to recognize or admit to.

There are few more practically Nietzschean than Charles Manson.

But he's more or less stuck there as his relativistic rhetoric shows.

Reminds of me of a crazy old man making faces for little kids, thats all Charles is, just a silly old man!

h8kurdt 08.20.2009 07:40 AM

Bloody prat. So he can spout shit every now and then. Just cos he's famous everyoe thinks he's this great, deep thinker. All he is is a loser who moaned cos he didn't get what he wanted. From that he decided to manipulate people into killing Sharon Tate etc. etc.

Toolbag.

SONIC GAIL 08.20.2009 08:23 AM

I don't think his mouth is worth listening to. I have watched most every bio, crime story, or interview done with this man. The whole Helter skelter bullshit. That what happens when you take too much acid while yr listening to the Beatles. He has shown no genius to me. Only a self centered pathetic child with a God complex crying out for stardom. A "man" that is so weak he manipulates the weakest, most impressionable members of society into carrying out his deplorable fantasies for him. He is to much of a pussy to do it himself. He loves that his followers treat him like some kind of profit. Crazy? Yes! Genius? No!

floatingslowly 08.20.2009 08:25 AM

he can stop watches with his miiiiiiiind, man.

The Lemonheads covered "Home Is Where You're Happy" on CREATOR. It's so awesome.

atsonicpark 08.20.2009 12:48 PM

His music is fucking awesome. I love PEOPLE SAY I'M NO GOOD... one of my favorite songs ever!

Tuning is a symbol of the opression of the man! You have that concept of in tune/out of tune. I don't have that yin/yang man, I don't need to tune my guitar cause I'm everywhere and everything, a440 is just an illusion man.

He clearly thinks the same about you:

Always nice, isn't it?

I'd say he was a brilliant songwriter. But beyond that, nuts and scary.

wtf at this thread.

wtf.

You have respect for him just because you think he's intelligent?

phoenix 08.20.2009 08:42 PM

I disagree that he is even remotely intelligent, but aside from that..

IMHO if you fuck up a bunch of people, that overrides any 'intelligence' you may or may not have.

phoenix 08.20.2009 08:51 PM

you could apply that kind of question to any person who has remotely negatively influenced another person. It doesn't particularly prove or disprove anything.

That isn't true either. Are you suggesting that anyone who has ever brought a reaction out of you is therefore highly intelligent? A person's psychological make up and personality type would have far more impact on that kind of situation than intelligence.

I do think that intellect isn't always used in the best of ways, but I really doubt that the mind behind complex ideas or concepts is very often the one to use it in a negative way.

Hitler wasn't a genius, he was a crappy painter and a lonely person who felt the world owed him something. How can any human be considered highly intelligent when they feel they are even remotely important? let alone the most important person in the world. Again, I would really think that has more to do with psychology and personality.

So on this train of thought.. you consider every person who leads some kind of cult, religious institution, and extremist movement, highly intelligent? Because they have the capacity to appeal to the minds of people who may be more susceptable to needing to be told what to do or needing approval for whatever reason?

phoenix 08.20.2009 09:05 PM

The fact that they are condoning and encouraging completely irrational behaviour in the group is irrelevant? Just because they can lead a group makes them intelligent?

What about children in a school yard, any 7 year old bully who can manipulate a group of other kids into smashing another kid in the face, is a genius?

come on.. It's no different. Give someone enough time and find the 'right' people to follow you, and any dumb fuck could accomplish that.

phoenix 08.20.2009 09:07 PM

I don't really want to get into an argument with you and I know you will believe what you do regardless.

My 2c though.

i think one has to have a slightly off-kilter way of thinking in order to "get" half the things he says/does in interviews.

but angella....if you read that first post carefully..i dont say anything specifically about respecting him because hes intelligent. i kept the two seperate. that seems to be a conclusion you jumped to mighty fast. however, you were right...at least, on some weird level.


I think she was giving you the benefit of the doubt, because if you don't respect him for that, what do you respect him for? Trying to start a race war? Manipulating young women into doing horrible things, including torturing and murdering a pregnant woman? His music is often very good, but that doesn't mean anything, really.

I'm also interested to hear what he's said that you agree with.

infinitemusic 08.20.2009 09:31 PM

He learned all of that stuff from reading Scientology books on how to manipulate people into joining the cult. For the record, he was actually a practicing Scientologist for awhile and had his own (dianetics?) machine. Does that make him unintelligent? No, of course not. But there are many types of intelligence. He happens to have emotional intelligence with a lack of empathy (in other words, narcissism).

Quote:

hitler wasnt a "crappy" painter...hes stuff just didnt happen to be of much interest to most that saw it. i consider him highly intelligent because he manipulated a whole fucking country and scared the shit out of the rest of the world. not to mention the fact he wiped out a LARGE portion of a certain race. do i think thats a good thing? again, no. but i bet you couldnt do it. i bet most (if anyone) on this board could do it.

But how do you know? A lot of people use their understanding of human behavior to do good. You have to WANT to do those things before you do them, whether or not you are capable. And again, there are many types of intelligence. Being very capable in one area doesn't mean you are in any other area. See socially retarded math nerds for an example.

Also, it's, unfortunately, a lot easier to manipulate people into doing evil things than it is to get them to do good things.

Prisstina 08.20.2009 09:42 PM

i love charlie. i had a huge rasterbated picture of him on my bedroom wall recently.

Prisstina 08.20.2009 09:48 PM
