I Didn’t Write the Music

[Testimony of Charlie "Charles" Manson]
Is it a conspiracy that the music is telling the youth to rise up against the establishment because the establishment is rapidly destroying things? Is that a conspiracy? The music speaks to you every day, but you're too deaf, dumb, and blind to listen. . . It's not my conspiracy. It's not my music. I hear what it relates. It says "Rise," it says "Kill." But why blame it on me? I didn't write the music. . .
