At 75, Charles Manson has spent more than half his life in prison for masterminding the notorious Helter Skelter killing spree that left actress Sharon Tate and six others dead in Los Angeles during the summer of 1969.
Manson spent his 75th birthday this week at the state prison in Corcoran, California, where he is in the protective housing unit. Some records indicate that Manson was born on November 12, but Manson's current associates and other records indicate his birthday was on Wednesday, November 11.
"He spent the day the same way he spends every day in prison," said Terry Thornton, spokeswoman for the state department of corrections. "Lately, the prison has told me, he doesn't come out of his cell very often."
She added that Manson didn't mention his birthday to anyone, and only emerged from his cell for about 20 minutes on Wednesday.
While his appearance has changed significantly from the wide-eyed cult leader who appeared on the cover of Life magazine in 1969, Manson continues to wield influence over some who consider him a wizened messenger.
Prison officials say Manson still gets lots of mail and spends most of his days singing and playing guitar in a high security unit. He also spends time speaking to associates like "Gray Wolf," 60, and "Star," a 24-year-old fast food employee.
Wolf said Manson gave him his name -- just as he named members of his infamous "Family" of followers during the 1960s. Wolf said he moved close to the prison in Corcoran so he could be near the man he believes possesses deep insight into environmental issues.
"Manson thinks the destruction of the environment is much more serious than we are being made out to believe," Wolf told CNN.

I wonder who “Gray Wolf” votes for.
He isn’t dead yet?
But he's never been as dangerous as Al Gore.
He isn’t dead yet?
Unfortunately not.
Joke's on me.
That's not possible.
The mans a consumate bullsh!t artist and that won’t change untill he dies.
I’ve often thought he could have been huge in the Democrat party if he wasn’t completely insane.
from the grave of Sharon Tate...
D E A T H - P E N A L T Y
In the same sense that Jeffrey Dahmer had deep insight into gastronomy.
Should have been executed decades ago.
Since when was sanity a requirement?
Manson is only able to “influence” dips, losers, psychos and gutless frauds like himself. And add to that the rest of the MSM!!
“Since when was sanity a requirement?”
About 5-7% is all that’s required to go far.
I wonder if grey wolf is Al Gore?
I’ve often thought he could have been huge in the Democrat party if he wasn’t completely insane.

Not if you’re referring to the current one. ;-) He’s fit right in!
...he’s supposedly the richest inmate in that unit from the money he’s made off selling his autographs....and BTW, I notice he’s sporting a cocaine thumb nail on his left hand...what’s that about?!!
That was back in the days when the hippies were preaching global cooling, an equally stupid theory to today's global warming which postulated that we were headed for a new ice age because carbon emissions from industry was blocking the sun and the only way to save the planet was to turn over economic management to the eco-Marxists.
