Quentin Tarantino's new film Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is causing a bit of Charles Manson mania. Since Manson was once an aspiring songwriter in Los Angeles, here's an annotated playlist of songs to fit the mood.
“The night I dropped my first tab, the Grateful Dead was playing at the Avalon Ballroom,” Manson recalled, referring to the San Francisco venue, in “Manson in His Own Words,” a book that compiled his jailhouse interviews.
He added of the 1967 concert: “Even without the acid, the performance would have blown my mind. All the strobe lights blinking and flashing in a variety of colors.” Manson remembered the music creating “a frenzy in the listeners and dancers. Before I actually realized what I was doing I was out there on the floor innovating to the beat of the Grateful Dead.”
