What Would Charlie Do?

This short series looks at the many ways in which Charles Manson and his cultish ‘family’ foreshadowed what was to come, how his influence effected many lives, and speculates what he’d be like now if he was to return. The period of his emergence as a murder suspect and cult leader was also the period in which the counterculture began to march towards being the dominate culture. He was, in many malignant ways, ahead of his time, and his practices a preview of what was to come.
