The Billy Letters
What better mentor for a 10-year-old than Charles Manson? Little Billy seeks life advice, and America's most notorious killers are happy to oblige.
In the late '90s, pop-culture historian Bill Geerhart had a little too much time on his hands and a surfeit of stamps. So, for his own entertainment, the then-unemployed thirtysomething launched a letter-writing campaign to some of the most powerful and infamous figures in the country, posing as a curious 10-year-old named Billy.
Hey guys, umm certifiably insane Charles Manson would like to know where his PAPER is? Also..seriously, Richard Ramirez has personalized stationary? Hope our tax dollars didn't pay for that.
I think it's time I sent Charles Manson a little letter. Maybe it will go something like this.
Dear Charles Manson,
Today the elephants finally turned on me, with the peardrops in
conspiracy. Watch out for the Hillbillies with lazers, they are the
killer, peardrops, PEARDROPS.Peace.
Anyway, make sure to read some of the comments people left on this Radar post.Specifically the post from bobolikesbeer. [ The Billy Letters ]
