The real meaning from my point of view of serial killers writing cute folk songs is that there may not be such a gap between Garrido and the average normal guy...<br />I would not like to take away any sense of responsiblity, though.<br /><br />But it is so easy to draw a line between them and us (those who do not kill, rape, lead a cult, etc.) Come on, we all have the same dangerous instincts!r--tinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-77590918817085293552009-09-19T14:16:47.635-07:002009-09-19T14:16:47.635-07:00"The truly evil don't think that they'..."The truly evil don't think that they're evil. He thinks he's full of love and the Holy Spirit. And Charles Manson wrote mellow folk songs, and John Wayne Gacy painted pictures of clowns."<br /><br />That says it all for all the sexual predators; priests, abusive husbands, rapists, coaches, serial killers. They escape detection because they really believe their own rationalizations. <br /><br />I can point to thousands of lyrics that are no better or worse than these, yet I sincerely doubt the authors are doing the same things. <br /><br />The question is how to tell the difference.IMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181750149322894025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-88154245314290184442009-09-17T14:49:05.948-07:002009-09-17T14:49:05.948-07:00This doesn't make me feel any less disturbed a...This doesn't make me feel any less disturbed about the whole thing, but damn, nice find.Tonyhttp://www.recordrobot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-11205635212632095242009-09-14T10:11:32.402-07:002009-09-14T10:11:32.402-07:00Just another novelty?

Its awful. <br />Charles Manson on the other hand could actually write a tune. 'Lie' is a pretty weird record but it definitely stays with you. <br />Maybe that's why Manson is still known and Garrido is most likely to be totally forgotten by the public imagination within a decade.<br /><br />As to Gacy the painter....yuk.James Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305652557419755386noreply@blogger.com
