Thread Name: BS: The 'music' of Charles Manson
Subject: BS: The 'music' of Charles Manson
I intentionally put this below the line because it is my comment on society, not on music itself. I ask the mods to please NOT move it)
I browse in Usenet ('newsgroups') where people post interesting music... and sometimes not-so-interesting. Yesterday, someone posted a CD by this 'company', http://www.discogs.com/label/69322-White-Devil-Records. It says it was recorded surreptitiously at Vacaville prison from 1882-1985, and smuggled out. It strives to promote Manson as a serious, intense 'hero' who has been 'mistreated' by the 'system'. The company obviously exists only to 'honor' Manson, just as some hateful racist 'music' is put out to promote neo-Nazi causes.
So... why mention this? Just as **information** to remind us that there is almost NO cause, no matter how repugnant to most, that someone is not espousing.
(oh... and I did NOT listen to the tracks... not even the tribute to Hank Williams)
