While drinking our morning cup of decaf coffee, (seems kind of pointless doesn't it.)
we stumbled upon a little piece of music trivia that raised our eyebrows in a Spock like fashion. It seems that one of the worlds most famous mass murderers had a song on the music charts. The title of the song was "Cease to Exist." but was actually recorded under the title "Never learn not to love." It reached number 37 on the billboard album charts in 1973. Some of the lyrics were changed also as the line "cease to exist" was changed to "cease to resist." The band who released the music was The Beach boys on their album 20/20. The writing credit is listed as Dennis Wilson, he later admitted it is a song written by none other than Charles Manson. Making him the one and only mass murderer to have a song on the billboard charts. The song can be found on youtube but we recommend you pass, as our son would say every time we try to sing in this house, "Stop, my ears are bleeding." Ciao for now.
