For some kids at East Valley High, disco is not just a fad.
Linda Kasabian, 17, comes from a troubled home. Her family tried to instigate a world wide race war while arranging their own personal fortress of everlasting fruits deep under ground in the Deserts of California.
In the mid 70's, she met Ken Taturbo, minister at the presbyterian church of funk. "It's like what the Bee Gees are saying. People tell lies, yeah? And wear a disguise, yeah? The kids don't understand. Turns into confusion. All because of the jive talkin'." Taturbo said.
"Linda Kasabian leaves court at the Manson trial gleefully because she will not be going to prison. The judge did however sentence her to have sex with Phil Spector, who leads her to her fate"
Miss LK Christian and beau, B. Ross arrive for the G-Rated re-release of "Linda and Abilene" held in the rec. center of the Central Avenue apartments in Nashua.
I'm somewhat confused here. Everyone seems to have negative feelings toward Linda K. BUT she helped put the "really" bad guys away, so the rest of US could be safer. SHE actually did EXACTLY what WE were ALL taught in school - to rat-out our classmates - in favor of a more effecient LAW and ORDER process.
Should she NOT be rewarded with some "happiness" for doing what WE all would likely have done ?
I do appreciate that Linda Kasabian came forward with the truth. Would she have without that promise of immunity? I have no idea. I don't know if what she did was for the rest of " us" or more for herself. I don't know the woman and what she really feels inside. I also don't give her a 100% pass on her actions though either. She was there both nights- I know she didn't kill anyone, and she possibly (?) saved the life of the actor on the second night but she also admitted- I believe (if I'm remembering correctly!) that she enjoyed part of that second night. Walking along the beach with Charlie, eating peanuts, telling him she was pregnant- I think this is what she said they talked about and that it was good at that point. But this was a man who had just dropped off two of the same people she was with the night before, she knew what they had done, and she- I'm pretty sure knew it was going to happen again. So how she could even feel slightly comfortable walking along the beach with Charlie and Susan Atkins is something I can't really understand since she also said she was so horrified by what they had done the night before. If she didn't have a child left back at Spahn I don't think I would give her much of a pass at all. JMO. If like Mr. Hendrickson, I has known some of these people and what things were like at the time I may feel differently.
I think I was pretty complimentary to her myself...
Want another one?
Normally I would deride her savagely here for running to save her own ass and leaving her own defenseless baby behind with people she knew were killers.
But I wont because it worked. She saved her own ass- got her kid back, and escaped jail for the TLB crimes.
Maybe she and Clem were the genius' of this group?
lol- or maybe they are the two people you want to sit next to at the craps table in Vegas??
Linda was like a lot of the others staying out there. Very vulnerable, weak-minded and influenced. She was probably scared & confused too, but.......I never could understand why she didn't go to the police immediately and spill the beans.
OMG - I fucked-up ! I NOW realize most were just expressing HUMOR, and of course the WHITE guy with the Afro, well - if that isn't funny - How about Johnny MacCain running for the Presidency AGAIN.
I was going to make FUN of AFR guy, but then I questioned whether THAT was legal or the FBI would be after ME for being politically incorrect.
Actually, at the time in the early seventies, the AFRO was the BUTT of all kinds of jokes. As was the UGLINESS of LBJ daughter and the POOR guy who married Nixon'x daughter.
McCain was a robot designed by the GOP with one function only: to make a preachy, narcissistic first-term Democrat senator with literally no accomplishments to his name actually look like the best man to lead the free world. To the eternal credit of the American people they played along with the joke, and we're all enjoying the punchline now.
Job done, McCain-bot 08-X. If it weren't for the faulty Palin unit going rogue, like Yul Brynner in Westworld, no-one would ever have realized they weren't real Presidential candidates.
I have no sympathy for L.K. I think she should have served at least as much time as Scramble head Steve Grogan She definitely had the opportunity to flee the Tate resident that night & if not save any lives there Rosemary & Leno would have lived along with Donald shorty Shes
How does one best describe Mr. Ross' tresses? Plagiarise Pink Floyd with "obligatory Hendrix perm" or go for pop culture campiness with "Jan Brady afro"?

Political correctness is the reason for the pussification of our country!
ReplyDeleteRH I heard McCain is running for Senate again not Pres!
