VLVL Count Drugula, or Mucho the Munificent

[Otto]

Charles Manson is mentioned only marginally (309). It seems that as a
character Mucho is modelled as a kind of mixture of  Terry Melcher and
Dennis Wilson.

"Mucho was one of the very first to audition, but not, he was later to add
hastily, to call back, fledgling musician Charles Manson. He almost signed
Wild Man Fischer, and Tiny Tim too, but others got to them first." (309)

It's been Frank Zappa who'd got Wild Man Fischer first.

I'm no Tiny Tim expert so who's got him first?
