Love Reign O'er Me

"We-he-he-he-ll the little things you say and do,
Make me want to be with yoo-hoo-hoo,
Rave on, it's a crazy feelin',
And I know it's got me reelin',
When you say, I love you,
Rave on."

Buddy Holly
Rave On

It seems that there can be a lot said about the Tate-Labianca murders,...be it here or elsewhere on the Web. The point of interest remains in the struggling to comprehend the murders, the murderers and the victims.


It's a like a freakin' instance of time in which we casual psychopaths try and wrap our heads around something that doesn't make sense.

The moment gets frozen.

We don't know why we do it,...or, at least, I don't. And I make no excuses for it. There is just somethin' about a car wreck that makes us look. We all have different perspectives...but the genesis of the interest is the same.

I ain't gonna try and freakin' over-analyze it. I'm just not deep enough....plus, I just ain't got the freakin' time, man. I gotta be at work in two hours.

I began to think about the mediums that this obsession tends to manifest itself in. For some reason, the next steps get taken and it rises to the next level.

Myself?,...well, once I toyed with the idea of makin' a kick-ass balsa wood model of the Cielo house,...right down to the electrical sockets...but my interest soon waned when I got wind that there was gonna be a Little Rascals marathon on TV.

That, plus the fact that I knew I would be as consumed as Richard Dreyfuss was in Close Encounters. And I don't like to be that consumed.....It's just too darn consuming.

People create.

I suppose that these are not new to most of you, but I thought I would throw them up anyway.

The one picture is called, "Sharon Tate and Friends the Moment Before" by some guy named Valentin. It's a picture of the moment before. He thought that moment was important enough to paint a picture of.





The next one is,...gosh, I don't know the title,...but it was in the Tate Modern,...an art gallery on the banks of the River Thames. It's just a couch and chair, man. But it's the freakin' American flag that gets your attention. It's just a freakin' couch and chair, man,..in front of a freakin' fireplace.

The next one is just a kick-ass picture of Sharon.

Yeah.

I think I know why we have this obsession.

It's because we all have fallen head-over-heels in love with her,....isn't it?

Anyway,....

Sharon was indeed beautiful, but I have never really felt much about her other than pity for being a victim.

It was so sad that Sharon was killed. I was a baby when it happened, but I heard a lot about it through the years.

Sharon, Why Didn’t You Flee?

Yes… A post really meant for the “What If” Department Store of Life [another store, no doubt, Charlie would have had Mary and Sandy skulk into, to buy stuff on a stolen credit card while the rest of the principal Family members sliced, diced and julienned their way into the criminal history books]. But my imagination has always fed thoughts in me that in the wee hours of many a night, when mere outsiders like us are sound asleep in our oh so safe beds, the really affected, surviving family members of this Cielo slaughter - Paul, Doris, Patti & Debra Tate - would have laid awake, utterly haunted, wondering all sorts of “Whys”. Now, I’m sure they had more detailed inside information than we do even today, as to why Sharon didn’t at least attempt an escape from that Living Room that night, and maybe, hopefully, for them, there never was any need for this particular questioning torment. I really DO hope that’s the case and that I’m wrong even in pondering this question. S

Charles Denton “Tex” Watson…The Man Behind The Monster Part One

  Top to Bottom– Present Day, 1969, High School Of all the Hinman/Tate-LaBianca killers, “Tex” Watson is one of the most difficult to understand from where old MsBurb is sitting. He’s not had the traumatic childhood like Sadie, nor the self-conscious and unattractive drawbacks of Katie, nor the baseline intellect of Charlie. No, for me Tex Watson is more than just an enigma and as such has been so very difficult to study. I’m sure, if you’ve been following TLB2, you have been wondering when MsBurb would get around to old Tex, and it’s not like I’ve been avoiding the issue, it’s just been because the more I read on this man, the less I know and the more questions for which there seem no clear answers. Having no idea where to begin with this guy, I decided to begin, not with a true scientific nor psychological approach but to begin with the wholly unscientific definition of the man through, yes, dare I say it, his Natal Astrology Chart ! Sure, heck, why not? I said to mysel

And Now For Something Totally Inappropriate...The First 25 Anyways...

It's been close to 40 years now and you'd think with the onslaught of the online information highway, we aficionados of all things Manson would have had all the answers to all the questions by now...and yet we don't. And while we don't, and while Charlie's killers are still breathing, I thought it might be a good time to sit down at an imaginary dais table with the entire murderous gang and ask those haunting questions possibly no one has had the courage to ask. Not to say that I expect answers... I just feel like I'd better ask those questions before one of you psychopaths kick the bucket, is all, or before I get too old to remember what those questions should be! Shall we begin? 1) Sadie, Katie, Linda - why go in bare feet to the Tate house? I mean, who goes barefoot to a blood bath? This wasn't the running of the bulls in Pamplona , you know! 2) Why not continue down Cielo Drive and to the next houses, as planned? You had the changes of cl
