Aimlessly enough, i've written two articles on Charles Whitman, who's story stands out like no other, and still leaves a mark in Austin history,today. 

Even though he was crazy and violent, he shows a strange sense of responsibility and clearly wanted very much to be stopped. His lengthy suicide note is remarkable, because he understands that he's suffering from irrational compulsions and just doesn't know how to deal with it, except to ask that his brain be studied after he dies and his estate be donated to research on similiar mental illness. That is in and of itself rather intriguing.

Kudos for the clip.

 

Hmm, I'm shocked and thrilled like never before, even more cos it's a real story. I did'nt know about this man, but now it gives me a wide view for one of BA songs.
