Never Learn Not to Love

[John Carvill]

As Ian MacDonald wryly notes in 'Revolution in the Head', Charles
Manson  was "apparently unaware that a helter skelter is a spiral ride
in English funfairs", instead assuming 'helter skelter' to be
"something to do with hell".

>>To Exist." Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson made some minor lyrical
>>changes to it, which supposedly upset Manson greatly.
