Cult leader Charles Manson, you'll be pleased to know, is still serving his life sentence for the Tate/LaBianca murders of 1969. But that won't stop him from releasing a tetralogy of environmentally minded albums on Fredericksburg's Magic Bullet Records over the next year. The first, Air, just came out.
