He was accused of everything from what could be done: from spreading drugs to torturing animals on stage, from encouraging gang rape to approving Satanism. On stage, the Manson group only reinforced its bad reputation - crucified or cell-locked girls, bald-headed heads, nudity and the use of an open flame. In Gesy (keyboards) there was a small cubicle, signed by "Pogo's Playhouse", in which were his synthesizers.

"I have never considered anything that I do, such that it shock. Shocking the public is too difficult, especially when compared with what is happening in the world. Or with what my imagination offers me. It is still not known what is grotesque. I live as I like, and I feel great, "- said the artist.

He did not like that "everyone was like from an incubator and about what individuality there could be no speech".
