	In a TV interview the group did they were asked how this song came about. Nancy Wilson said it was from a time in her life when she was young and impressionable and very hippy. She was living with a man in the mountains in a hippy fashion, "washing clothes by hand and hanging them in the wind to dry". And so everything seemed very magical and earthy to her then. Now she looks back and thinks "who was that person". That's what she said anyway.

	I have done extensive research about this song... And contrary to the belief of some, this song is not directly about Charles Manson. It is however about Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, who was briefly friends with manson back in the late 60's. Where it connects to Ann Wilson is that she had an affair with Dennis Wilson after Manson had been jailed for the tate-Labianca murders. As you know Dennis wilson was the drummer for the Beach Boys, hence Ann's reference to his "magic hands", Ann's mother warned her to come back home to Seatle ( she had been in LA working on getting a recording contract). She wanted her to come home because she was worried about the people she was running with in California. Dennis Wilson was known for his affairs with younger woman. At the time, Ann was 19, and Dennis was in his late 20, early 30's... The reference to Charles Manson is close, not direct. This is a great song, and it definitely makes you wonder how involved Dennis Wilson was with Manson...
