But I wouldn’t want to paint it. (A Steven Wright joke.)
My two degree of separation from Charles Manson. A friend of a friend back in the 80s who knew Manson when he did time in the joint.
And having shaken the hand of Vincent Bugliosi at two of his book signings. The former prosecutor is the reason Manson is behind bars. We can thank him for that as well as for being the author of “Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away With Murder” and “Divinity of Doubt: The God Question,” wherein he explains that the only logical position re the existence of god is one of doubt. And, finally, “Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” wherein he chainsaws the conspiracy buffs – of which I used to be a member - to shreds.
A good man, he died yesterday. May he rest in peace.
