Which serial killer said the song Blackbird by the Beatles made him commit his crimes?
It was Manson, him and his “family.” Not just “blackbird,” “helter-skelter” and “revolution 9” but the whole White Album was what they said inspired them. Seems Manson and friends believed an uprising of black vs white was coming. (blackbird, white album) They figured the song Revolution 9 was a hidden reference to the bible’s Reveleation chapter 9, with its apocalyptic events including long-haired locusts, which they associated with the Beatles (beetles) you’ll find the whole way-out story on this site: http://www.webweaverdesign.ca/beatles/ot… Edit in response to other answers: Yes, Helter-Skelter is the Manson-influence most people have heard of, probably cause he said it on TV. But Manson and friends claimed the whole White Album was what drove them. Helter-Skelter is on the White Album.
