1968, Beach Boy Dennis Wilson was divorced from his first wife, Carol Freedman, and living the high life in a large house on Sunset Boulevard outside Los Angeles.

That spring, he stopped to pick up two female hitchhikers on the Sunset Strip and invited them home for milk and cookies. After eating, he got to talking about his experiences with the Maharishi, founder of Transcendental Meditation. The women said that they, too, had a spiritual guru, named Charlie.

Not long afterward, Wilson returned home at night to find the lights on and a school bus parked outside. He eyed the small man walking toward him and asked if the intruder intended to hurt him.

"Do I look like I'm going to?" responded Charles Manson, before dropping to his knees to kiss Wilson's feet.

Thus began the unusual friendship between a rock 'n' roll icon and one of history's most sadistic cult leaders.
