Laurel
Canyon in the 1960s and
early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists
congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those
turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, the
Monkees, the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, the Turtles, the Eagles, the
Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf,
Captain Beefheart, CSN, Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, the Doors, and Love with
Arthur Lee, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins,
James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Judi Sill and David Blue, lived
together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood
Hills.



But there was a dark side to that scene as well.



Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths
remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than
most would care to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with
his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various
political operatives, up-and-coming politicians, and intelligence personnel -
the same sort of people who just happened to give birth to many of the rock
stars populating the canyon. And all of the canyon's colorful characters - rock
stars, hippies, murderers, and politicos - happily coexisted alongside a covert
military installation.



Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon is the very strange, but
nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a hippie utopia.
