Hypnotized by Manson in 1961, eh? Probably turned down an invite to party at Cielo that fateful night in ‘69 too. I have to call BS on this one.
I banged Bridget Bardot in black and white!
I have to agree. I’m no expert on Charlie M, and it’s certainly true that he was in and out of L.A. county jail during the period in question... but this sounds far-fetched. It makes for a good story... hypnotized by Manson, but Manson wasn’t “Manson” in 1961. I mean to say that he wasn’t this infamous maniac that anyone would even think twice about. He was just a nobody petty criminal in a sea of nobody petty criminals. But Trejo just happened to be hangin’ out with the guy and getting hypnotized. It’s not impossible, I guess, but it just seems unlikely. And who’s available to verify or contradict this anecdote from 60 years ago? Convenient.
