March 6th, 1970

1970:  March 6th – Charles Manson releases an album called “Lie” in an effort to help raise money for his defense in the Tate – LeBianca murder trial.  Manson had earlier persuaded Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys to record his song “Cease To Exist,” which The Beach Boys retitled “Never Learn Not To Love,” which was released as the B-Side of their “Bluebirds Over The Mountain” single.  The album cover for “Lie” was designed to look like the cover of Life Magazine with the “f” removed from the word “Life”






Also on this date, three members of The Weathermen are killed when a bomb they are constructing (intended to be planted at a military dance in New Jersey) explodes.
