Only in his dreams. Manson knew Dennis Wilson, one of the original brothers that made up The Beach Boys. Manson was hoping Wilson could use his connections to get Manson's music career going. Wilson did his part, he contacted record producer Terry Melcher (Doris Day's son) and Melcher gave Manson a listen. Melcher took a pass on Manson and his music and Wilson payed the price. Manson terrorized Wilson, was in fact living in Wilson's house, when he finally had to move out to get away from Manson. Manson and his 'family' trashed Wilson's house before they finally left, and Wilson had to keep a low profile, afraid of what Charlie would do to him.

He had good reason to worry. Shortly after leaving Wilson's Malibu house, there were 5 murders in a house that was owned by Terry Melcher. The victims, actress Sharon Tate and friends. Tate was renting the house from Melcher and there is speculation that Manson was hoping to kill Melcher instead. It probably played a part in the choice of locations Manson picked for the murders.

That would be Dennis Wilson. Wilson lived to regret his association with Manson. Manson was, for a time, a houseguest of Wilson's. But after months of Charlie and other 'family' members mooching off of him and destroying his Malibu home, Wilson fled to another house and considered himself lucky Manson was arrested before he could make good on this threats against the Beach Boy.

"Never Learn Not To Love"

The Beach Boys renamed Never Learn Not To Love. Manson named it Cease to Exist. I find that title appropriate.

Who was the man who rejected Charles Manson's music?

I think you mean Terry Melcher. Melcher, a record producer, met Manson through one of the Beach Boys. Melcher listened to some of Manson's music, and it must not have made much of an impression, because he passed on Manson and his music. Needless to say, Manson was furious and I think if he could have found Melcher, he would have killed him.
