Hey Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life?

Just a touch to get you through?

Yeah, me too.

This is the podcast that comes after the podcast.

Welcome to Disgraceland bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after party.

This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of disgrace land to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are

talking about Mama Cass Elliott. We are previewing the coming episode on Chris Cornell, talking

down and dirty rock star autobiographies, and we get into your voicemails, text, DMs, emails,

and as always, a whole

there is one story in particular that really influenced my thinking about this story,

about Cass, about Sharon Tate, Charles Manson, etc.

And it's the story that actor Michael Cain tells about being at a

party at Cass's house where both Sharon Tate and Charles Manson are present. I heard about this story

in Tom O'Neill's book, Chaos. Tom cites it. And the reason this story is so important is because it blows a major

hole in Vincent Bouliosi's helter-skelter theory. Now, I'm not going to get into all of it here because

that's what the Mama Cass Elliott episodes are for and the Sharon Tate once as well. Those are in

Hollywoodland feed, by the way. But I bring it up to get to

another point. When I read this story in Tom O'Neill's chaos, the story of Sharon Tate and Charles

Manson being at the same party that is depicted by Michael Kane, I had to see the original

source material because the story was so bizarre and just no one had ever mentioned anything like this before.

So I went looking for the book that O'Neill cites.
