I believe Manson may have even lived in Dennis' home for a time, along with a few of the girls. Beyond even that, Dennis recorded music with Charles Manson. There is a Beach Boy song entitled "Never Learn Not to Love", which evolved from a song called "Cease to Exist", the latter of which was written by Dennis and Manson. From what I read, Manson was not pleased with the changes that Dennis made to the song. I'm not entirely sure if Dennis was a potential target for murder at the time of the Tate/LaBianca murders or just still somewhat on the radar of the clan having recently severed ties, but Terry Melcher, who was involved in producing Dennis and Manson's music, was a target to be murdered. Manson went to Melcher's home only to find out he no longer lived there and soon after committed the infamous Tate murders in that house.
