Dead is dead.
And for the victims there is no moral equivalency.
But Phil Spector is Charlie Manson and Charlie Manson is no Joey Stalin.
Phil Spector, a rock and roll superhero, is a lunatic who played with guns and shot dead Lana Clarkson and deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life for his despicable act.
Charlie Manson is a piece of shit who hoodwinked some gullible, terrible girls, into killing four innocent people, one of whom, Sharon Tate was 8 and a half months pregnant. Manson was as guilty as a Mafia Godfather who orders an assassination. he should be put to death.
Stalin put into slave labour, starved and had murdered millions upon millions of Russians. Stalin got away with his crimes but one hopes there is a hell simply so there is some place to stick him.
I have heard some of Manson’s music and he is terrible.
All three of these men are terrible, grimy, low lifes. And for Lana there is no difference in horror between the death of millions and, the death of definition of innocent Tate’s unborn baby . But for society, it is inexcusable to suffer through an inability to bring Stalin to justice or that Manson is not dead. And it is inexcusable for Henry Rollins to have ever been involved with him.
