Wouldn't be surprised if Klaus is hoping to get funding for a biopic of the almighty Steve's swell life story. Of course, the could use the same actor and not bother with too much make-up over a large portion of its represented time, as Hoofy remained at high school for around 3 decades.
In the case that something like that ever became a reality, his time meeting Manson could follow sequentially from his Kim Fowley and Rodney B scenes, kind of like a psychedelic Happy Days crossed with Forrest Gump. Rather than the hapless Gump, I guess Steve could be more like George McDonald Fraser's Flashman. Just how the presence of John Oteri is shown, I'm not sure but could open the movie up to being one gigantic headfuck.

For the Manson meeting, in your script, you have to show with the help of inner thoughts how much he was shaken to the core by what he witnessed.
"Fuck me! This bearded charlatan, who just talks bollocks about stuff like the Beatles, has still managed to put together some personality cult around him, with a bunch of agressive losers ready to defend him against any dissenter. He must do something right."
I've done half the job, now, you just need to fill in Steve's thoughts to get the other side of the meeting.

There’s so much story to tell in the movie of Steve, you could probably save time and cover ground with a preamble screen scroll like in Star Wars.
“............ago, in a place far far away”
Btw - someone here with the skills seriously needs to put together Daddy’s version of the Star Wars scroll. Boozin’ Suze, if you have the time and inclination, I think this project could be your destiny.

Oh man, if only STeVE could go back in time and be killed by the Manson Family! Neat!

If only Steve had helped Charlie get in touch with Terry Melcher, things might have turned out different for everyone.
If only.

If only Steve had offered to install Manson's stereo, he might not have misheard all those lyrics.

Come on, guys. Don’t be that dismissive. There’s a real effort here. You can notice he has removed all the foot fetish references from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

An enjoyable piece of fiction. But if he truly believes this happened, he desperately needs help.

As someone with "real PTSD", fuck you even more than usual STeVE. And also "Old Squeaker"? Really?

STeVE’s Manson story made me recall a thread I’d started a couple of years ago that identifies the five common elements present in all of Hoffman’s “epic” anecdotes. (https://stereocentral.freeforums.net/thread/306/steves-amazing-anecdotes-101-breaking) The Manson tale sure seems like it checks all the boxes, so I figured it might be fun to break it down and be sure. Here, once again, are the five elements we’ll be looking for: 1) A perfectly-recalled tiny detail (or quote) from 40-60 years ago that nobody would likely remember after so much time. 2) Hoffman doing something exciting because he's STeVE! (Something only the SHite riff-raff could dream about.)3) Name-dropping either someone famous, or some mentor to young-Grasshopper STeVE.4) Folksy and/or cutsie-pie words and expressions that show Daddy is really neat!5) Listing the brand name and/or model number of some old piece of equipment that's sure to give the SHites a sexual charge.Ready? Let’s get to it. OUR QUICK ENCOUNTER WITH THE MANSON FAMILY: It was July of 1969. I had summer school but it ended early in the day.There was a place that I had heard about that was pretty cool and it was up Topanga Canyon by the old movie ranches (Iverson, etc). I had a plan.. After looking at a map of the area (thanks, Union 76!) late one afternoon my friends and got a ride up Topanga by my mom and from there we rode our bikes to the Chatsworth train tunnel, directly across the street from Spahn's Movie Ranch. It was at 12,000 Santa Susana Pass Road and the spooky train tunnel was across the street (still is). What was my plan? I had my Yashica Super 8 movie camera (birthday gift from the year before) and we were trying to make a little movie. It involved dancing (ballet) in strange locations. A girl I liked (Melissa) was footing the bill so I didn't care about the plot, I just wanted to film stuff (and it might as well be cute girls). At any rate, we were right outside the tunnel, one girl (Ellen) holding a big piece of cardboard with foil on it (for light diffusing), I had my camera on my ****ty little tripod and the writer/producer (Melissa) was putting make-up on our "talent," an older girl (Laura) who wanted to be a dancer and wanted to be in a movie.
So, all of a sudden (cutting this story really short) coming up behind us were four hippie girls and two hippie thugs, watching us in the shadows. I sensed them and turned around. There they were, cutting off the sun.They asked what we were doing there. I said "MAKING A MOVIE!" I was very excited (and very young).They looked us over, they looked our gear over, they smiled (but the smile didn't reach their eyes) and I started to get scared a bit. After all, we were at their mercy, they were bigger, older than us and no one (not even my mom) knew where the hell we were. Maybe they were going to steal my camera? What did I know? They talked to each other and the main girl ( Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme, I realized years later, hard to forget that face) asked if we had any spare change. I thought it wise to give them what I had (which was about 50 cents). I gave it to her and then had an idea. "You guys want to be in our movie?" They laughed, but not with amusement, said no, and told us they were the caretakers across the street at George's place and we were tresspassing here. I knew we were tresspassing but this wasn't ranch property, this was train property but I wisely said nothing.I asked if we could film our scenes and then split. My dad always told me if you ask a favor of someone (especially a bully) it humanizes you and they will lay off. So I asked nicely and old Squeaker said "one hour and then get out." So, we spent an hour, rode our bikes up to Topanga, called my mom and carried on with our lives.One month later Sharon Tate and the others were killed and imagine our surprise when it all hit the newspapers some time later. And years later ol' Squeak tried to kill the President. That's when I recognized her in particular. All of us had real PTSD for a little while. People had vanished from the earth from those dickwads. I'm glad we weren't among them. It was a close call and I'm sure if our numbers were fewer it might have been different. I'm also sorry they didn't want to be in our little movie. Imagine if they had?? Wow, we'd be famous. Yup! All five elements are there! STeVE is so neat!
