How come everybody has heard of Charles Manson but not Yahweh Ben Yahweh ?

Was it just that Charlie sort of knew the Beach Boys ?

1. It's not about Manson, it's about Sharon Tate

A well know actress, married to Roman Polanski, a well known director.

On August 8, 1969, Tate was two weeks from giving birth.

2. I've heard of both...

but that's because one of my best friends is an ADA for city and county of Philadelphia, another is studying criminology, and I'm intrigued by (ab. psych/serial killers/forensic profiling). I tend to have strange lunch conversations as a result.

3. If you look at his Bio...

We were born in the same town. Kingfisher Oklahoma.
How funny is that?

4. Have heard YBY's name, but don't know as much about him as Manson. (Which also isn't much)

5. Heard of YBY? Hell, I used to catch his show on public access cable...

I understand he died of prostate cancer around a year ago. His followers describe it as his "ascension."

They almost never addressed him as Yahweh ben Yahweh on the show. It was always something that sounded like "youvay Yahweh beheem spohie youvay Yahweh" or something like that.

And whenever they prayed the Lord's Prayer, they were supposed to face the East.
