Trivia
It's made to seem like all Manson's songs were sung by him. They were not. All Manson's written-songs were sung (with rhythm guitar) by fellow Family member Steven 'Clem' Grogan.

loved the retrospective

I really loved the retrospective on his origins, especially the original footage from that time. many interviews with people who knew his mum and him when he was little. i cannot find much fault in this project. to me it was not in any way an attempt to justify his actions.. i loved it because it attempted to show the path he walked and painted a psychological picture that way.

& no, i would not "put the 'manson-story' to bed" .. reviewer jmihalchik-67031 mentioned some things that i find interesting & unsettling - & curbed my interest in his 5th paragraph. now we need another documentary going into that...
