Never More: Manson (1973) Documentary

Source:Never More- 1973 Manson Family documentary.

"'Manson' is the definitive documentary on the former cult leader and his followers, released at a time when the notorious murders were still fresh.

"Whatever is necessary to do, you do it," Fromme says. "When somebody needs to be killed, there’s no wrong. You do it, and then you move on. And you pick up a child and you move him to the desert. You pick up as many children as you can and you kill whoever gets in your way. This is us."

The film was shot by Hendrickson and Merrick between 1969 and 1972—after Charles Manson and a handful of Family members had been arrested for the murders but before the story had been cemented as a cultural touchstone in the 1974 book Helter Skelter—with the Family footage filmed primarily at the Western film-set-turned-Manson compound Spahn Ranch and in Death Valley. The whole thing was scored by Brooks Poston and Paul Watkins, two former Manson Family members.

Directed by - Robert Hendrickson & Laurence Merrick
Music by - Brooks Poston & Paul Watkins
Release date- 1973" 

From Never More 

"Documentary on Charles Manson and his family. Has a number of insightful interviews with many family members most notably Squeaky and Sandy (Blue and Red). There is also a history of Manson from his birth to the family formation to the Tate/La Bianca murders. Plenty of footage of the family playing at Spahn Ranch."

When I think of the Manson Crime Family, (as I call them) because thats basically what they were) I think of a huge waste of human potential across the board of people who are now serving life in prison, because they threw their lives away by intentionally taking the lives of innocent people. But thats not the whole story because they not only have wasted their lives all of these people in their late teens and early twenties, but they wasted the lives of their victims and threw their lives away as well.

The Manson Family stuck their victims families and friends, as well as their own families and friends with a life sentence in prison. That now all of these people who've done nothing wrong as it relates to this story of a life sentence in the victims families case of never being able to see their relatives again and losing them at a young age. But have also stuck their own families and friends with a life sentence of never being able to see them living in freedom again. Because of course they are now in prison for the rest of their lives where they deserve to be.

I call the Manson Family a crime family because they may of started off as a cult. Where young somewhat lost people could come together and get away from the real world where they may of felt out of place and not doing well there. But they became a crime family by late 1968 early 1969 by ripping people off, even taking hostages and beating the hell out of people who they thought they had money that was owed to them and so-forth and were even dealing illegal narcotics.

And of course all of these things all boiled up and eventually leading to the horrible murders. Murders you might only see from racist hate groups or vicious serial murderers which some of the Manson Crime Family members ended up being, like Charles Tex Watson (to use as an example) with all of the blood and stab wounds they left by their victims and the surrounding areas where the murders were done.

So the Manson Family became not much more than an evil crime family creating a lot of damage for the Los Angeles area. And of course for their victims and created just a tone of human waste that over forty years later the victims of these crimes, as far as the family members of the victims and offenders because the offenders families are also victims as a result of the Manson Crime Family murders as well.

Washington Redskins: NFL 1964- Season Highlights


Source:Washington Redskins- QB Sonny Jurgensen. We can thank the Philadelphia Eagles, actually we should send them annual Christmas gifts, for giving away Sonny to us.

"Watch this NFL Year in Review from 1964 when quarterback Sonny Jurgensen comes to the Washington Redskins and wide receiver Charley Taylor is League Rookie of the Year." 

From the Washington Redskins

There are many reasons why the Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles has at least been a great NFL rivalry historically and I believe one of the most underrated rivalries in the NFL. 

Washington and Philadelphia are only 130 miles apart, which means the fans of both teams can go to the city to watch their team play. Both clubs are in the NFC East. Both clubs have been historically tough, physical, hardworking, blue-collar teams, at least during the Super Bowl era. Both teams have been good at the same time, for an extended period of time, like in the late 1980s and early 90s. 

I'm not saying the Redskins-Eagles rivalry started in 1964, when the Eagles traded Sonny Jurgensen to the Redskins for journeyman QB Norm Snead, the rivalry was already there. But if you look at the career that Sonny had and the career that Snead had and you look at what both teams did after this trade, with Eagles going into a drought where they would have 11 straight non winning seasons from 1967-77, 1 winning season from 1964-77. This trade was a steal for the Redskins and something the Eagles would spend the next 15 years trying to recover from, going through one QB after another after Sonny.

The Redskins didn't start winning right away under Sonny Jurgensen. They wouldn't have their first winning season with Sonny until 1969 under Vince Lombardi. But for the rest of the 1960s with Sonny at QB, and then add WR's Charley Taylor ,(perhaps the best WR ever) Bobby Mitchell, perhaps the first hybrid RB/WR, whose also in the Hall of Fame, and then Jerry Smith who should also be in the Hall of Fame, and the Redskins had one of the best offenses in the NFL during the 1960s decade. And would become consistent winners and a consistent playoff team in the 1970s with Sonny and would even win the NFC in 1972, with Sonny as their QB.

6/08/2022 - Benjamin Rice: "When RFK was new. Great old People's Drug sign. Was a great drugstore until it got gobbled up by CVS." 

Erik Schneider: "There was one in downtown Bethesda on the same street where I went to high school. It also had a Roy Rogers and Hot Shoppes, and a local bookstore. Great shopping center." 

Benjamin Rice: "nice. We used to go to the one at Arlington Rd and Bradley Blvd when I was growing up." 

Erik Schneider: "Small world."
