Charles Milles Manson (born Charles Milles Maddox, November 12, 1934) is an American criminal who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in the California desert in the late 1960s. Manson and his followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations over a period of five weeks in the summer of 1969. In 1971 he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit the murders of seven people: actress Sharon Tate and four other people at Tate's home; and the next day, a married couple, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca; all carried out by members of the group at his instruction. He was convicted of the murders through the joint-responsibility rule, which makes each member of a conspiracy guilty of crimes committed by fellow conspirators in furtherance of the conspiracy's objective. His followers also murdered several other people at other times and locations, and Manson was also convicted for two of these other murders (of Gary Hinman and Donald "Shorty" Shea).
Sick City (RTD M 28-1), a 12" maxi record release of PIG, was released on Potomak in 1989. J. G. Thirlwell as well as John Caffery were heavily involved in this record.
"Sick City" is a song by Elton John with lyrics written by Bernie Taupin. It is the B-side of the single release of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", released in 1974. It later appeared on the 1995 remaster of the album Caribou. The song is about a groupie, and the life in 1970's New York which Bernie Taupin has had a love/hate relationship with from time to time. Musically it features the Tower of Power Horns which appear on Caribou. It also features altered piano tones through a Leslie speaker.

TALK: [laugh] Let's see. What was we talkin' about? Sick City, y'kay Restless people, from the sick city But they're home, now to make the sky look pretty What can I do, I'm just a person Just a line that we always seem to hear You just sit Things get worse and SING: Watch TV and drink your beer Walkin' all alone not goin' anywhere Walkin' all alone nobody seem to care Restless as the wind This town is killin' me Got to put an end To this restless misery I'm just one of those restless people Who can never seem to be satisfied with livin' 'Cause sick old sick sick sick old sick city It may be too late for me to say goodbye And it may be too late To watch the sick old city die Goin' on the road Yeah I'm gonna try to say Sick city so long goodbye and die
Charles Manson died on the same day so Marilyn Manson and Tyler Bates did something special at this show. This was filmed from the first row somewhere at the side. This was part of the European Heaven Upside Down 2017 Tour After Manson had the accident in the US.
A very rare reel of the Manson Family home footage of Charlie playing his guitar. Unfortunately, the camera couldn't capture Charlie's face because the girls didn't know how to operate it properly.

Clang bang clang
Went the big iron door
They put me in a cell
With a concrete floor
Nine other men in that cell with me
Moanin' their fate with destiny
Clang bang clang
Clang bang clang clang
Early in the mornin'
At the crack of dawn
They wake us to the tune of a bong bong bong
Line up for chow
Munchin' hard bread
Drinkin' black coffee with that noise in my head
Clang bang clang
Clang bang clang bang clang
The judge said to me, now boy
