Beatles & Manson Family in Buffy? It's more likely than you think!

Caught this at then end of Episode 11, Season 1 of Buffy. Know what that is? That's right, the lyrics to "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by the Beatles. Reference to radical cult leader in the chapter heading + Beatles reference = Manson family reference. Joss Whedon, you are a genius.

not Helter-Skelter?

How in the world did you manage to see that while it was moving, I can barely make out the words in your cap.

Helter-Skelter was the big one, but the Manson Family thought ALL of the Beatles' songs were prophetic.

Anyway, I hit pause. I was curious as to what the opening paragraph was, then I was like, "Holy shit, this is the Beatles!"

Joss Whedon IS a genius! And "Buffy" has real substance!
