I don't believe the race war explanation and am torn between the drug and record deal theories. The one thing that doesn't fit for me about drugs is that would not account for the LaBiancas.

I read the book at about the same age too. These days a lot of parents probably wouldn't even allow their kids to read such a "gory" book. I also used to take Benedict Canyon home and after a night of drinking I decided it would be a good idea to drive by Cielo Drive. Not sure who lived there at the time but it was still the original house and they had left the gate open so we drove right in. No security lights came on so we got out and looked around for a few minutes. Pretty creepy thing to do.
