The White Album was like a box of chocolates. You never knew what you’re gonna get. The second of three “animal” themed songs on side 2 was a George Harrison social commentary. It wasn’t directed toward police; Harrison referred to piggies as the rich and powerful. The Beatles had no clue this, along with many other songs from that LP, would be so horribly misconstrued by Charlie Manson. But that’s another story...

How could anyone not tell that this was about metaphorically bashing social rank, privilege, along with the attitudes and corrupt favoritism that goes with it?
Like a lot of individuals, Charles Manson also had a one-track mind.
