HELTER SKELTER







“We're not in Wonderland anymore, Alice.” 
― Charles Manson



.
“I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide/ Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride"

                                   - Lennon/McCartney Helter Skelter 





Those and other lyrics were quoted by the madman Charles Manson when he was trying to build a scenario of an imminent race war that was going to blow America apart. Recent ridiculous announcements from that other madman Donald Trump suggest that these two jokers have things in common. Trump's racist comments might be symptomatic of an addled and diseased brain but could also be, from that addled brain, a last-ditch attempt to drum up support from an eroding base of diehard voters. Maybe he does think he needs a race war to get through his agenda.

Who knows? But certainly not who cares? These are dangerous times.

The Beatles were so innovative. In 1968 when Richard was just 16 they invented Heavy Metal!
