Phil's last interview?
whether it is or not, it's an illuminating read:
"For years he did nothing. He was incapable of action. Paralysed. Projects came and went, unfulfilled. What could possibly interest him? Disco? "Terrible." Michael Jackson? "The most depressing, heinous thing. I mean, starting out life as a black man and ending up as a white woman, what's that all about?" Rap music? "Like the c got left off at the printers." Spector falls back on the sofa. "It's all been done! It's all been done!"

homo + caedo (perf. = cecidi) = homicide (man + slaughter)
homos + sexus = homosexual (same + sex)
the latter is a bastardisation of a greek prefix and a latin suffix, the former is entirely latin

I mean, they might actually be good! But, hey let's free the guy OK so he might have killed someone but hey it's the famous/genius Phil Spector!!!

A bit off track, but "Tearing Down the Wall of Sound" is a totally addictive read. The interviews between the author and Spector took place a mere six weeks before "the incident".
― darin, Thursday, 21 June 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
UH:
The week’s most dubious highlight came when the defense played Lana Unleashed, Clarkson’s portfolio video designed to showcase her comedic talents. Prosecutors Alan Jackson and Pat Dixon begged Fidler to block the screening but the judge ignored their pleas. The video quickly made clear why Clarkson did not have her own Comedy Central show. Her self-written sketches, intended to demonstrate Clarkson’s range of characterizations and dialects, appeared desperately unfunny on the courtroom screen. She was dying up there — all over again.It also became obvious why Spector’s lawyers fought to have the video shown. In one segment Clarkson performs a black-face impersonation of singer Little Richard selling a line of African-American cosmetics on TV. The sketch was nothing more than a coon show and seemed to drag on for hours as reporters kept an eye on the jury’s three black members, who watched with frozen expressions. (“Little Richard’s” cosmetic kit — called “Makeup Kit for Dummies” — included minibar bottles of liquor and plastic pieces of a black man’s face.)

Obviously this doesn't excuse Spector in the slightest but Jesus H.

One ILM poster friend of mine has noted previously that Mamet has an uncommon talent for finding ways to justify women getting slapped around in his movies/plays.
Nah, that's not true, but he does have a good half-dozen scripts with false rape accusations, and this story is a variation on that.
That said, I liked it. Lots of Pacino time.

Really? Two that come to mind off the top of my head:
The Verdict -- Charlotte Rampling gets "justifiably" slapped in a restaurant.
Oleana -- Bill Macy beats the crap out of the woman who falsely accuses him of rape.
Pretty sure there are others...
