Damn, beat me to it. I wonder though, she seems like a piece of work. Does Manson know about it? Does California require both parties to apply for a marriage license? He’s not eligible for conjugal visits. ---

Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil. But Charlie will just call her Nancy. ---

Okay, I can live with it if they get married. But we need to draw the line if Manson talks about starting a family. ---
