In this bonus episode of Rock is Lit on The Manson Murders/Tate-LaBianca Murders, posted on the 54th anniversary of the crimes, I'm joined by Scott Michaels, who was a content consultant on Quentin Tarantino’s film ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’.

*I'm also posting this in the new Rock is Lit Confidential playlist. Rock is Lit Confidential had not been established before I made this video.

Scott Michaels is Hollywood’s original authority on celebrity deaths, including the Manson Murders, and a former tour guide for LA’s now-defunct Dearly Departed Tours. Check out his fabulous YouTube channel: @DearlyDepartedTours.

This past April (2023), Scott gave me a once-in-a-lifetime, one-on-one, all-day tour of major Manson Family points of interest in Los Angeles and the surrounding area, which we talk about in this bonus episode. I've even included some photos and videos from that tour.

I hope you'll watch in honor of the victims of the horrendous crimes that took place Aug 8-9, 1969. If you'd like to hear my whole interview with Scott (we go into a lot more of the crimes in the uncut podcast episode), listen wherever you get your podcasts, including:
