What is it about him that made him so famous that his name is still a buzzword now? People still remember him, and there are Charles Manson T-shirts, and there are bands that are dedicated to him. He represents a counterbalance to all the illusions that were prevalent in the 60s, and he’s the guy who brought it all down to earth, and below. No, we weren’t all going to San Francisco with flowers in our hair. His legend and reputation and really the mythology that has risen around him will outlive him, I think, and the less people now about him, the more happy they will be to deify him.
