Near death as in death adjacent, or in the presence of Death as voiced my Adam Carolla/Norm MacDonald?

Have you been watching Mindhunter on Netflix? If not, you'd probably enjoy it.

Tarantino's next movie is going to be based around Manson and his cult.

I was bored one day and looked up the case. The pictures from the murder scenes are insane.

Read the book Helter Skelter by the guy that prosecuted him. Vincent Bugliosi.

Beyond disturbing, but an excellent read.

I read that years and years ago. It bothered me for a long time. It’s as bad as the book about the Bernardo/Homolka murders. Very disturbing.

I read Helter Skelter back in high school. Also watched a very freaky movie made from Manson Family home film and interviews with Family members. Looking back, it's stuff you'd rather wasn't put in your brain.

More recently, I read some articles about the Dennis Wilson's relationship with Manson that are pretty disturbing, including this interview with Mike Love in People magazine.

So weird how California was such a mecca for cults in the 60s and 70s. I don't know if it's still available, but Netflix had a documentary about The Source Family and it's guru Father Yod. Crazy stuff. It seems young people with empty family lives + a culture celebrating rebellion against social norms + drugs + messianic sociopaths who want to sleep with loads of women = bad news.

The thing that always struck me about Manson is his eyes. They look lifeless, or maybe soulless is a better description. When hit with light in certain instances/angles, they turn red. I am not a religious man what so ever, but this guy really does have the feel of the devil reincarnate.

I read that Bugliosi book as well many years ago, I think I bought it at a flea market in Calgary? Very interesting and pretty disturbing at the same time. Had a hard time putting the book down.
