Helter Skelter

 This will be a quick post; because everyone needs to be reminded, I am autistic and things that are probably obvious, sometimes escape me; especially if those things are tied to an emotion or feeling. As in this example of today's stupid realization that was probably obvious to everyone else.

When Motley Crue released Helter Skelter on Shout At The Devil, that, as much as the imagery, was likely shocking to our parents beyond the "Satanic Panic" crap. Parent's in 1984 would have been aware of The Manson Murders, and the brutality of those crimes. A parent seeing "Shout At The Devil" and it's pentagram cover would have been concerned already, but you throw in the fact that they covered a song most closely associated with those horrific murders, I can imagine that was a little too hard to pacify even those open-minded parents that dismissed the imagery as shock-value previously employed by The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and then Black Sabbath. They would remember that a bunch of murders happened that were particularly evil, those murderers wrote Helter Skelter in their victim's blood at the murder scenes. Also, they might be aware that The Church Of Satan opened a temple in the same San Francisco neighborhoods frequented by Manson. It would be a different thing if The Beatles recorded Helter Skelter post murders, but they indirectly inspired the murders, and now Motley Crue is covering that song that inspired murderers - which to me, takes your cover song to a whole different level of thought.

Am I wrong or too high?
