Charles Manson: The Beatles

Members of Charles Manson's 'Manson Family' cult committed nine murders in California during the summer of 1969 – most killing pregnant actress Sharon Tate.

Manson interpreted the lyrics on The Beatles' psychedelic record The White Album were addressed directly to him and his cult adopted the track Helter Skelter as an anthem.

Manson believed the lyrics to Piggies were telling him to attack the White bourgeois and start a race war.
