Even if the legend makes people think that Charles Manson was a Beatles fan, he wasn't. He knew their music but as he declared in Kalx Interview: "That was... you see, you people gotta realize, man, I’m fifty years old. Bing Crosby was my heartthrob. Frank Sinatra was my hero. Not the Beatles." We can also find a very similar statement in 1989 Geraldo Rivera Interview: " I wasn’t a generation of the 60’s. I’m a Bing Crosby fan, not a Beatles fan. You guys make me into be something that I wasn’t. I never had a beard or long hair in my life. I was a beatnik not a hippie".
Other music influences mentioned by Charlie in his songs are Hank Williams (aka Luke the Drifter), Lefty Frizzel and Woodie Guthrie. And Elvis Presley? Here's an excerpt from Seconds Magazine where Manson expresses his thoughts: "I lived in Elvis Presley’s house. He ran me out of the yard. I got mad at him, I was going to throw some rocks at him because I thought he was a fucking idiot and an egotistical punk. I never liked him even a little bit, but everybody else kow-towed to him because he was rich. But to me that don’t mean shit. I don’t give a fuck how rich you are, I’ll bust you up anyway".

It's possible to hear Manson mentioning Hank Williams in many songs like in Commemoration's A Tribute to Hank Williams or The Summer of Hate's Twilight Blues.
Down here you can listen to Dream Train/My Oklahoma Angel Love, a song from the album The way of the Wolf where Manson talks about his music memories mentioning Woodie Guthrie, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzel and Elvis Presley.
Anche se la leggenda tende a far pensare che Charles Manson fosse un fan dei Beatles, questo non è vero. Conosceva la loro musica, ma come ha dichiarato nella Kalx Interview: "That was... you see, you people gotta realize, man, I’m fifty years old. Bing Crosby was my heartthrob. Frank Sinatra was my hero. Not the Beatles." [Tutto ciò era... vedete, voi gente dovete rendervi conto, diamine, che ho cinquant'anni. Bing Crosby era il mio idolo. Frank Sinatra era il mio eroe. Non i Beatles.] Una dichiarazione simile la fa nell'intervista del 1989 con Geraldo Rivera: "I wasn’t a generation of the 60’s. I’m a Bing Crosby fan, not a Beatles fan. You guys make me into be something that I wasn’t. I never had a beard or long hair in my life. I was a beatnik not a hippie". [ Non ero della generazione degli anni '60. Sono un fan di Bing Crosby, non dei Beatles. Voialtri mi traformate in qualcosa che non ero. Non ho mai avuto la barba o i capelli lunghi in tutta la mia vita. Ero un beatnik non un hippy.]
Diverse sono le influenze che Manson cita nelle sue canzoni, Hank Williams (aka Luke the Drifter), Lefty Frizzel, Woodie Guthrie. Ed Elvis Presley? Ecco qui un estratto dal Seconds Magazine dove Charlie esprime il suo pensiero a riguardo: "I lived in Elvis Presley’s house. He ran me out of the yard. I got mad at him, I was going to throw some rocks at him because I thought he was a fucking idiot and an egotistical punk. I never liked him even a little bit, but everybody else kow-towed to him because he was rich. But to me that don’t mean shit. I don’t give a fuck how rich you are, I’ll bust you up anyway" [ Vivevo nella casa di Elvis Presley. Mi ha fatto sloggiare dal giardino. Ero furioso nei suoi confronti, stavo per tirargli addosso delle pietre perchè pensavo fosse un fottuto idiota e un egoista da due soldi. Non mi è mai piaciuto neanche un po', ma tutti gli altri gli andavano dietro perchè era ricco. Ma per me questo non significa un cazzo. Non me ne frega un fottuto niente di quanto tu sia ricco].
E' possibile ascoltare Manson citare Hank Williams in molte canzoni come A Tribute to Hank Williams da Commemoration o Twilight Blues da The Summer of Hate.
Qui sotto potete sentire Dream Train/My Oklahoma Angel Love una canzone tratta da The Way of the Wolf dove Manson canta dei suoi ricordi musicali citando Woodie Guthrie, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzel e Elvis Presley.
