“he had a marginal talent as a songwriter, but was an abysmal guitar player...”
What were some of his song titles? He may have copied some songwriters, but there was nothing original or talented about the crap he wrote himself.
There was one beach boys song, I believe, that Dennis copied.. I can’t remember the name, will have to duck duck go it. I saw something that implied that Dennis killed himself, at least in part because of his association with Manson.
