- If all of the million records are sold
at full price with no discounts or record clubs, the band earns $2 million in
royalties, since their 20 percent royalty works out to $2 a record.
Two million dollars in royalties minus $2 million in recoupable expenses
equals ... zero!
How much does the record company make?
They grossed $11 million. -

Satanic Sex Liberation
- The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein had
powerful Hollywood entertainment industry connections, and the famous five were
re-cast in a role where they had unisex haircuts, and jacket styles which were
neither male nor female; the idea being to blur the individuality of the sexes,
and such places as Carnaby Street played along, male fashions became softer,
gentler, more feminine, and men were told they needed to wear deodorants, hair
sprays perfumes, eye liner and face powder. -

The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the
Hippie Generation
Part I
- Given that Zappa was, by numerous
accounts, a rigidly authoritarian control-freak and a supporter of U.S. military
actions in Southeast Asia, it is perhaps not surprising that he would not feel a
kinship with the youth movement that he helped nurture. And it is probably safe
to say that Frank’s dad also had little regard for the youth culture of the
1960s, given that Francis Zappa was, in case you were wondering, a chemical
warfare specialist assigned to – where else? – the Edgewood Arsenal. Edgewood
is, of course, the longtime home of America’s chemical warfare program, as well
as a facility frequently cited as being deeply enmeshed in MK-ULTRA operations. -

- The question that we will be tackling
is a more deeply troubling one: “what if the musicians themselves (and various
other leaders and founders of the ‘movement’) were every bit as much a part of
the intelligence community as the people who were supposedly harassing them?”
What if, in other words, the entire youth culture of the 1960s was created not
as a grass-roots challenge to the status quo, but as a cynical exercise in
discrediting and marginalizing the budding anti-war movement and creating a fake
opposition that could be easily controlled and led astray? -

- During the ten-year period during
which Bruce, Novarro, Mineo, Linkletter, Stevens, Tate, Sebring, Frykowski and
Folger all turned up dead, a whole lot of other people connected to Laurel
Canyon did as well, often under very questionable circumstances. The list
includes, but is certainly not limited to, all of the following names:... -

- Until around 1913, Laurel Canyon
remained an undeveloped (and unincorporated) slice of LA – a pristine wilderness
area rich in native flora and fauna. That all began to change when Charles
Spencer Mann and his partners began buying up land along what would become
Laurel Canyon Boulevard, as well as up Lookout Mountain. -

- Some of those who were on the scene at
the time agree with Miles’ assessment that Vito and his troupe were indeed the
very first hippies. Arthur Lee, for example, boasted that they “started the
whole hippie thing: Vito, Karl, Szou, Beatle Bob, Bryan and me.” One of David
Crosby’s fellow Byrds, Chris Hillman, also credited the strange group with being
at the forefront of the hippie movement: “Carl and all those guys were way ahead
of everyone on hippiedom fashion.” Ray Manzarek of The Doors remembered them as
well... -

- For those who may not necessarily be
‘in the know’ about such things, the Fraternity of Man were best known for the
novelty song, “Don’t Bogart Me,” Tim Leary was best known for being a painfully
obvious CIA asset, and The Oracle was a San Francisco-based publication with
intelligence ties that specialized in pitching psychedelic occultism to
impressionable youth. -

- Many of these young and glamorous
Hollywood stars forged very close bonds with the Laurel Canyon musicians. Some
of them, including Peter Fonda, found homes in the canyon so that they could
live, work and party among the rock stars (and, in their free time, pass around
John Phillips’ wife to just about every swinging dick in the canyon, including
Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, Roman Polanski, and Gene Clark of
The Byrds). Some of them never left; Jack Nicholson to this day lives in a
spacious estate just off the portion of Mulholland Drive that lies between
Laurel Canyon and Coldwater Canyon. -

- Thus far in our journey, we have
encountered Masons, the FBI, the OSS, the CIA, the secret society known as Skull
and Bones, the Rothschild family, military intelligence of every conceivable
stripe, the OTO, the RAND corporation, the ‘neocon’ cabal, and just about every
other nefarious group that regularly pops up in the ‘conspiracy’ literature –
with one very obvious exception: we have not yet met up with any member of the
legendary Rockefeller clan. Luckily though, we’re about to remedy that
oversight. -

- As for [Ricky] Nelson, in the
mid-1960s he successfully shed his ‘teen idol’ image and emerged as a respected
pioneer of the country-rock wave that Canyonites Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt
and the Eagles would soon ride to dizzying heights of commercial success. One
future member of the Eagles, Randy Meisner, played in Nelson’s Stone Canyon
Band. As the name of the band would seem to imply, Nelson did not live in Laurel
Canyon but rather in one of the many neighboring canyons, but he and his band
were very much a part of the early country-rock scene that included Laurel
Canyon bands like The Byrds, Poco, the Flying Burrito Brothers and the First
National Band. -

- In the summer of 1968, as is fairly
well known, Charlie Manson and various members of his entourage moved in with
Wilson. “Tex” Watson, curiously enough, was already living there. As many as
two-dozen members of Manson’s clan spent the entire summer there, with Wilson
picking up the tab for all expenses. The Mansonites (mostly nubile young women)
regularly drove Wilson’s expensive cars and demolished at least one of them.
Dennis didn’t seem to mind; he was busy recording Manson in his home studio and
inviting fellow musicians, like Neil Young, over to the house to hear Charlie
perform (Young was so impressed that he urged Mo Ostin to sign him). -
