One man emerged from August 1969 to etch himself deeper into the History books than any other. A son of a teenage prostitute and a frequent jailbird, proved there was a thin line between rock stardom and total pyschosis. In the two years preceding this, his 34th year, he had attempted to break into the rock business, befriending Beach Boy Brian Wilson and getting shortlisted for a place in a TV pop "supergroup". he was certain he'd soon be "bigger than the Beatles". However, he failed the final audition for the Monkees and, in despair, he turned to a new religion-his own. Posing as a guru, he collected a few (mainly female) dropouts and acid freaks.
