The Beatles

Why was Manson hanging out with the Beach Boys but getting all his secret messages from the Beatles? Couldn't Wild Honey or Friends have inspired murders too?

in the candlestick park footage, are the only on-stage monitors the two little gray boxes in the front corners, and maybe a larger speaker to ringo's left pointing at him? that seems like a nightmare in terms of being able to hear on stage even before all the screaming. the monitors are so far away from john/paul

(xp) Smiley Smile probably could.

i mean if "transcendental meditation" wasn't enough to inspire a man to kill i don't know what song could

and i _like_ transcendental meditation

ringo should have filmed douglas adams' spec script for "goodnight vienna", that's my opinion

i totally forgot about that, I see the script finally got published a few years back. b-ark is in it apparently (which got recycled twice!)

I did win a copy of the triple album along with the accompanying songbook from the Long Island Press

nice! long island press was a queens thing? i don't recall seeing it around me. in nassau county it was "good times."

Apparently so! Never thought about that before, made assumptions since it had "Long Island" in the title. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_Daily_Press

I believe at one point Lou O'Neill Jr. migrated to the NY Post along with his soulmate Headphone Dan Aquilante

Surely you read Wayne Robins in Newsday back in the day?

Heh, further discussion of Lou O’Neill Jr. here, including me telling a version of the same story I just recounted upthread: The end of Circus Magazine
