He was convicted of killing music teacher and fellow associate Gary Hinman on July 27, 1969, and has been imprisoned since his arrest for that crime. Circa 1965, Beausoleil was a member of Arthur Lee's band The Grass Roots (not The Grass Roots of "Midnight Confessions" and "Live For Today" fame), which later changed its name to Love. Lee claimed to have bestowed the nickname "Bummer Bob" on Beausoleil due to a drug burn. Beausoleil claims that Lee named his band Love in reference to another of his many nicknames ? "Cupid." Circa 1966, Beausoleil joined a band called The Orkustra; bandmate David LaFlamme went on to greater success with It's a Beautiful Day. Following his stint in The Orkustra, Beausoleil put together the band he called The Magick Powerhouse of Oz.
