Glad I'm not the only one for whom Charles Manson has given Charles a creepy vibe. I try to tell myself that it's silly to let Manson ruin what is an old classic name that has been borne by countless men besides himself, some famous and talented.

And I'm not above being annoyed when other people say that associations have ruined names for them, provided that the association is one that I don't have. For instance, I've told people that it's ridiculous to let the car association ruin Mercedes and I think it's annoying that some people see Melanie as trashy because of Melanie Griffith.

I try rescue Charles in my mind from Manson, but I just CAN'T HELP IT.
