Were the Manson and Lyman families apocalyptic cults, misunderstood revolutionaries, or media distortions created to delegitimize the revolutionary communalism of the '60s? Parallax Views host JG Michael joins us to discuss Mindfuckers: The Rise of Acid Fascism, a collection of early-'70s Rolling Stone Magazine articles, to ponder cultism, psychedelic culture, hippy racism, The Beatles, and much more.
