The last avatar or the banality of evil?

 



 

Charles Manson used to be seen as the Devil incarnate, and sure, he wasn´t a nice guy (more like a psychotic cult leader with a penchant for serial murder) but in hindsight, he nevertheless looks pathetic rather than scary. Yes, he really was a "nobody". A nobody who epitomized the dark side of the happy hippie 1960´s...

I actually remember the interview from which the first clip is taken. I think it was made at some point during the 1980´s. It used to scare the hell out of me. Now...I can´t stop thinking about "the banality of evil". Or am I just getting old and jaded?

Found the above clips by chance the other day.
