>> good morning. >> why? >> the sun's shining this morning. >> it is? >> yeah. >> charles manson cleverly masqueraded behind the common image of being a hippie, goes up to haight-ashbury district, surrounds himself with a bunch of young followers. their lifestyle was sex, orgies and lsd trips. eventually, he gets them to commit mass murder for him. >> with blood, the killer scrawled on a refrigerator door the words "death to pigs." >> you see, prior to these murders no one associated hippies with violence and murder. people would pick up a hitch-hiking hippie. there was no big deal. but after the manson murders you saw a hippie with long hair hitch-hiking and the image of manson would enter the driver's mind and they would drive right by. >> by the time of charles manson and watching altamont and what happened there, it symbolizes the drained idealism of the spiritual quest of the beats and early hippies.
