Mirroring the energy of the era, Manson an ex-convict became an aspiringmusician who began preaching messages of peace and love. His charisma made it possible for him toattract young followers into his inner circle. But no one could have predicted that some of his peace-loving followers would turn into America’s most horrifying group of cold-blood killers.Music Credits:Sergey Cheremisinov - Night SnowfallKai Engel - ParanoiaKai Engel - IdeaThe Minds Of Madness Theme Music – Duncan FosterAll music is used under an Attribution License - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/Music provided by George Cattapan - http://www.cattapanproductions.com/The Funkoars – Feel The MadnessUsed with Permission - http://goldenerarecords.com.au/ge/funkoars/Please check out this episodes sponsors and help support our podcast:SimpliSafe - Order your SimpliSafe security system today at https://simplisafe.com/madness, and SimpliSafe will also donate one to a family in need.INSIDE THE MANSON CULT: THE LOST TAPES - a new two-hour true crime special about Charles Manson and his gang of blindly loyal followers, will air Monday, Sept. 17 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOXSpecial thanks to:Dianne Lakehttps://www.amazon.com/Member-Family-Charles-Darkness-Sixties/dp/0062695576Website - https://mindsofmadnesspodcast.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/themindsofmadness/Twitter - @MadnessPodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/themindsofmadness/Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/MadnessPodDon't forget to Subscribe, Like, Review, and Share.
