The musical landscape would be completely different without Charles Manson. We should always abide by the principle that a person should be given credit for whatever other good he claimed for himself, regardless of other explanations. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for WWII and it's influence on the lives of my grandparents. That entire European fascism thing was truly a great work since I can point directly to it for my family relationships and the value they hold for me.
He was a great man, wasn't he? By their fruits ye shall know them.

Apparently so. I like the Beatles, anyway, so it's only appropriate to accept his claims in order to acknowledge the goodness of his works.
In the spirit of Praise to the Man, I think someone ought to sing praise to Manson using the Vietnamese National Anthem. Nothing against Vietnam, mind you, just that I'm not likely to hear it anywhere unlike Scotland the Brave. Which Mormonism has forever ruined, by the way. We should blame Joseph Smith for that.
