In this interview by Tom
Snyder, we get a very playful side of Charles Manson. He's
almost toying with Snyder, after Manson realizes that Snyder
wants nothing to do with having a real interview. In Charlie's
mind, if Snyder wants a raving lunatic, then that's what he'll
give him. It's a fun romp to see Manson manipulate Snyder,
without Snyder even knowing it. Furthermore, Snyder's false
bravado is completely laughable, when one realizes how easily
Charlie moves the interview to where he wants to go with it.
