Charles Manson

Two artists share this page: singer-songwriter Charles Manson and the powerviolence band named after him. 1) Charles Milles Manson (born November 12th 1934, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States) is an inmate serving life in the California penal system since his conviction in 1970 for involvement in multiple murders. Before the murders, he was on the distant fringe of the Los Angeles music industry, chiefly through a chance association with Beach Boy Dennis Wilson. After his arrest, recordings of songs written and performed by him were released commercially.

Crispin Hellion Glover

In 1989, during a hiatus from films, Glover released an album called The Big Problem Does Not Equal the Solution, The Solution Equals Let It Be through Restless Records, produced by Barnes & Barnes (of "Fish Heads" fame). The album features original songs like "Clowny Clown Clown" , warped covers of Lee Hazlewood's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and Charles Manson's "I'll Never Say Never to Always" (sung in falsetto), and readings from his art books Rat Catching and Oak Mot (Glover modified old books with expired copyrights by adding or deleting pictures, text, and drawings).
