Boy, is this an interesting interviiew. Thank you for sharing it. Sounds like Manson was never going in a wholesome direction. Kinda good Knapp was not around him long and he seems to have better radar than Dennis Wilson.
Is this published material? I’d like to share it but I don’t want to screw up your rights somehow.
I’m from that exact era. I was in Topanga canyon about 73 for a daytrip and I swear the whole little area we were in was filled with that Manson gang. They kind of walked all around us, eyeing us, my boyfriend was driving a vw van and I think that was their focus. Made us feel very uncomfortable so we got out of there.
I pulled that straight off the web from the link, so yeah, it’s published material.
Ernie is a very nice man. I was very impressed with his music collection. He had an entire wall of 4track recordings he had made of songs he has written. I don’t know how many of them got published.
While American soldiers were shedding blood and their lives in Vietnam, Young was singing about Tin soldiers and Nixons army.
The guy is a skunk and always has been.
