popdude Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Did you know (and I'm sure you did) that Charles Manson actually recorded a song that involved Dennis Wilson? Actually, the Beach Boys recorded the Manson composition; it was called "Never Learn Not to Love (Cease to Resist)." Manson wrote it as "Cease to Exist," and was reportedly upset that Dennis and the gang changes his lyrics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 "Doris Day's son Terry was one of the 60s greatest producers...His albums sold millions."And Terry Melcher (who produced The Byrds, Paul Revere & The Raiders & others, and was the Terry of Bruce & Terry (of "Summer Means Fun" fame - the Bruce was Bruce Johnston), and was also in the Rip Chords ("Hey, Little Cobra")) may have been who the Manson gang was really looking for the night they went medieval on Sharon Tate & company. Rumor had it Charlie sent them to kill Terry M., who had agreed to work with him on his music, but backed out. Melcher had lived in Roman P's/Sharon T's house for awhile, but had moved out....
