Double Elvis.

If you feel like modern music culture doesn't reflect what you care about, then you're not alone.

Disgraceland listeners realize that Kazam, a corporate algorithmic studio storytelling machine,

keeps trying to sanitize music history, stripping out the true crime.

Disgraceland exists to take these stories back, and now you can wear that rebellion by sporting

some of our new merch. Long and short sleeve, just say no to Kazm T-shirts, Disgraceland

hoodies, and our zombie Elvis Johnny Paycheck-approved black trucker hat. Our merch, like our

content, is built for the musically obsessed. The self-proclaimed discos who know that real

music history is dangerous and far cooler than whatever the hell mainstream music culture

is serving us up right now. This merch is way cool. I would wear every item in the shop. It's an

exclusive and limited run. It's only available until September 30th, so order yours now at shop

disgraceland.com. Discreeland is a production of Double Elvis.

Dennis, his relationship to Charles Manson, his state of mind in the wild ups and downs of the Beach Boys, is a story that is so complex that two episodes are needed to properly tell it.

If you're just getting hip to this now, I suggest you hit pause and go back to Disgraceland episode 47, or part one of the Beach Boys saga,

where we discuss the band's creative rivalry with the Beatles, drummer Dennis Wilson's falling in with the Manson family,

and the gruesome murders of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring,

and others unlucky enough to be hanging out at 1050 CLO Drive

on the night of August 8, 1969.

In this episode, we get into the Beach Boys coming apart in a very public way,

and the truly great music made by their rivals, The Beatles.

Unlike the music played at the top of the show, that wasn't great music.

That was a preset loop from My Melotron called Three Rings Sousa Magic MK2.
