yeah his twitter is great. if you say anything about how he is under appreciated, his career was sabotaged, mike love is an asshole, or his brilliance knows no bounds, he will smash that fuckin fav & RT immediately. i like his "birthday" series.

Didn't know this
On Aug. 9, '69, just after 3:00 p.m, I rapped on the door at 10050 Cielo Dr., to visit Terry Melcher at home. He'd moved. On that front lawn I'd 1st met Brian. Sharon met me, clued me in. Asked if I wanted to come join her & her guests. Decent! I declined. pic.twitter.com/UTvtlbZtYB— Van Dyke Parks (@thevandykeparks) November 21, 2017

According to Karina Longworth on her Manson podcast, every Hollywood celeb of the time has a story about going to the Tate house or being invited that day. Makes me a bit sceptical about VDP.

's weird. I used to follow VDP on Twitter and he also followed me. Then he blocked me. I'll never know why. He's also the only person to block me on there. I still revere the man!

He wanted to look at the 16 mm copy of the Zapruder film I would show in slo-mo, trying to fathom what had actually happened when our brloved JFK got his head blown away in Dallas. I had the only copy in town. https://t.co/wmMh1hpIc6— Van Dyke Parks (@thevandykeparks) December 9, 2018
