Unusual for me, but I don't have a strong opinion about it. <br />My dad used to have a phrase for inconsequential things calling them a "puff of smoke". I guess that is what I would call Marlin's book. There just wasn't that much there there - to paraphrase Gertrude Stein I think. The book had a couple of insights and entertaining anecdotes but I am still not certain what Marlin's goal was - to define Charlie from a psych standpoint? <br />Ah, what the hell, it was a nice effort, just maybe a bit to self-focused and indulgent.leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-73127780745414203172012-09-15T11:50:56.670-04:002012-09-15T11:50:56.670-04:00Ah, you're killin me Lynyrd.

But I do come from that world, sad to say.<br />I have a saying about the Irish...<br />The Irish are blunt in their affections, and even 'blunter' in their disaffections.<br />That's my simplest explanation for not liking Battleborn - I am old and Irish. Tastes change. I used to love Kerouac but now I can't read five pages of his stuff.<br />I'm sure Mr. P and many other folk will enjoy Battleborn, as well they should.<br />It may just be that after surviving cancer and a triple-bypass I simply have no appetite for things like angst and forlorn despair. They bore me. And idiots, for the most part, bore me too. <br />Charlie, on the other hand, is a most entertaining idiot. leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-1140249770741467222012-09-14T23:47:10.747-04:002012-09-14T23:47:10.747-04:00"God does not play dice with the universe&quo..."God does not play dice with the universe"<br /><br />Albert EinsteinMrPoirothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155552886069024565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-48793106103848489012012-09-14T22:44:45.523-04:002012-09-14T22:44:45.523-04:00The Family ranged a great deal in age.

To a certain extent, they are all famous with many books, movies, radio shows, blogs, TV shows, documentaries etc. about them. <br /><br />Manson's efforts to confound the police were relatively successful, at least for a while. Police reports can still be seen online with names in them like "Leslie Sankston","Brenda McCann", "Charles Montgomery" etc. The Manson family didn't do these things by accident. These were fictitious names and had the police bothered to check, some people may be still alive today.<br /><br />When it comes to crime, I wouldn't describe Charles Manson (or many of his followers) as idiots. Some of his followers never even went to jail or served short prison terms. Some of them got away with their crimes and are still getting away with them to this day. <br /><br /> sunset77https://www.blogger.com/profile/04041729222425015567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001083595175224919.post-85047256060363227552012-09-14T18:54:25.301-04:002012-09-14T18:54:25.301-04:00Agree or disagree... you have to admit...
