“Gimme Skelter” is the story of a band of murderers led by a man claiming to be Charlie Manson’s bastard son Phillip Valentine. They plan to lay siege to the small town of Bannion’s Cross New Mexico (pop. 67) so that Phillip can impress his dear old dad. The story follows both the invaders and Todd, a somewhat shiftless 20 something. Early on Todd’s frustration with his petulant but loving girlfriend Jonda pushes him into the arms (crotch) of Brass, one of Phillip’s acolytes’.
