Description

Nicholas Tochka analyzes the role of rock music in the life of Charles Manson; the Family; and the August 1969 Tate-LaBianca killings; which also gives larger insight into Sixties counterculture. Failed singer-songwriter. Devious cult leader. A rock Pied Piper. The product of a sick society. Just another dime-a-dozen singing hippy mystic. Did the guitar-playing guru personify the violence that the rock counterculture inflicted on America? Or did his music diagnose the dehumanizing effects of that society’s broken institutions? For over five decades; commentators have debated the meaning of Charles Manson and the Tate-LaBianca killings. Rock music links their narratives: from the aciddrenched singalongs at the Spahn Movie Ranch; to a bizarre theology centered on Beatles songs; to his commune’s alleged links with Hollywood’s elite; to an album; LIE: The Love and Terror Cult (1970). In this first comprehensive examination of the Manson Family’s music; Nicholas Tochka writes with; against; and alongside the many authors—true-crime hacks; gonzo journalists; conspiracy theorists; and rock critics alike—who have told and retold the story of “the Manson murders.” Playing the truth games that these postwar Americans helped invent; The Musical Lives of Charles Manson presents a new take on the story of the commune—and on rock’s role in fracturing the possibility of writing trustworthy histories after the Sixties. “They are afraid of it; because it tells the truth;” Manson once claimed; describing his music. Just what truths did the Manson Family’s music-making tell?
