NSTS Episode 151 – Zeppelin, Charles Manson, and The Beatles

1969 was a crazy year. Led Zeppelin scared the hell out of people with their heavy rock debut(s), and Charles Manson scared people in a much different way. And The Beatles broke up, which may have scared one or two people.  

Join me as I examine the above in detail, including Zeppelin’s tendencies to ‘borrow’ from old blues artists, Manson’s bizarre relationship with Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, and the shocking way in which Beatles classic Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was actually written.
