One of the two great influences on the thinking of Charles Manson, along with the Book of Revelation, was the musical group the Beatles. According to Family members, Manson would most often quote "the Beatles and the Bible."
The two influences were linked, in that Manson saw the four Beatles members as being the "four angels" referred to in Revelation 9. Revelation 9 also tells of "locusts" (The Beatles) coming out upon the earth. It describes prophets as having "faces as the faces of men" but with "the hair of women" In Revelation 9, the four angels with "breastplates of fire" (electric guitars) "issued fire and brimstone" (song lyrics).
Barker Ranch in Death Valley, another "ranch" the cult stayed at
Manson believed that the Beatles spoke to him through their lyrics, especially those included in the White Album, released in December 1968.
For example "Rocky Raccoon" meant black people and "Happiness is a Warm Gun" was a song about getting firearms to carry on the revolution.
According to Family member Paul (Tex) Watkins, "Before Helter Skelter came along, (first mentioned by Charlie in December 1968) all Charlie cared about was orgies."
