Nine Inch Nails/The New House
I just wanted to say that I never listened to the Nine Inch Nails album "Downward Spiral" (which was recorded in the Tate house right before they tore it down). I finally saw the album and read some of the lyrics and I was appalled! (Ok, I know I sound like an old fuddy-duddy). There are songs on the album called "Piggy", etc. which I think is a total disrespect and for some reason, it makes me sick to my stomach. And the lead singer claims he had "no idea he was staying in the Tate House" when he was there--yeah, whatever. I don't understand how people can glorify the act of a murder--I'd like to see how they could handle it if they or one of their loved ones had something like that happen to them (though I would NEVER wish anything like that on anyone--just my anger talking).
I have a good friend who is from Los Feliz and lived not too far from the LaBianca house. She said she remembers going down into Benedict Canyon and seeing the Tate House sitting up on the mountain. She said it was creepy--no one wanted to live there and it sat for many years in an "eery silence". Does anyone know if the new house that's built on the site has occupants yet? Just curious.
