In and out of juvie and jail since childhood, Charles Manson learned guitar in prison from the last of the great Depression-era gangsters. He also made music industry connections in jail like the Rolling Stones’ road manager.

Charles Manson was about to be the breakout star of 1969…at least in his own mind.
