Walt Disney's Swan work, The Pirates of the Caribbean, has a myriad of values, influences and crossover works. Not the least of which is the cinematic continuance of the vision.

A rant. Based on my need to scrap an episode. Because: Living people.

Jayne Mansfield was killed in a Macabre car wreck in 1967. It was rumored that her relationship to Anton LaVey brought about a curse that caused the fatal crash.

Many details and Turns would be discovered. And a few suprising things would come of it.

August 9, 1969 is a date that will live in infamy. It was an era that anyone with even a fleeting cognitive recall would be able to recite the address—10050 Cielo Drive from memory—and for many, many years to come.. It was also the site of second high profile death of a beautiful actress—following Jayne Mansfield by two years—only this time—it was murder.

As the Manson Clan was prosecuted and ultimately convicted of this murder ands others--Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi would cash in as a hero and author.

But did his need for inarguably-stark prosecutorial margins compromise the truth?\

Tom O'Neill thinks so. And today I discuss his fascinating book.

Harry Houdini placed the trust and support for contacting his deceased mother into the hands of a friend. It didn't go well.
