RIP Mr Malcolm Young of AC/DC, I never will forget when i was a kid in 1980 i was the first on the block to have the brand new album Back In Black, I had speakers out on the front porch and about 10 neighbor kids where over all singing the songs on the album out loud that was cool.

Charles Manson Dies at 83


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ch ... ar-BBFjAE6


Charles Manson, the notorious leader of the Manson Family cult that murdered actress Sharon Tate and six others in 1969, has died in a Bakersfield, Calif., hospital, CBS L.A. reported on Sunday. He was 83.

"Manson again made headlines in 2015 when his fiancee at the time, Afton Elaine Burton, AKA “Star,” 53 years his junior, was reported to be planning their nuptials in order to secure a claim to his corpse, which she hoped to exploit as a commercial public display piece."

"Manson returned to the hospital in mid-November after being hospitalized in January. He was transferred out of Corcoran State Prison, where he had been serving nine life sentences. He had been denied parole 12 times."

"Since the murder convictions, Manson has been imprisoned at San Quentin; the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, and at Corcoran."

Mid 80s are about the limit, unless you have very good genes.
