This unscripted ending is a recent follow up. Still awful.

I saw Lana Clarkson's memorial in the Hollywood Forever cemetary a month or so ago...all kinds of larger-than-life size blowups of her press photo, etc. 'n I was like "whoa"

Totally trumped up! It was Brando's kid! He's a one-man Hollywood hit squad!!

three years pass...
"This is a trial of public interest," said Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler. "I always have a problem with commentators telling people what is going on rather than letting the public see the trial for themselves. I'm a firm believer in having the public see it. And I wanna be on TEEVEE!@!!!1111!@@2!!!"

BTW, Back To Mono is going for $17 new on Amazon. Already got mine last month.

Record stores are flooded with copies.
I suspect the good ol boys at Abkco are trying to silently show their support.

are you saying she was a homo?

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 08:33 (sixteen years ago) link

homo = self so yeah everyone is.

Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 08:34 (sixteen years ago) link

oh.

Ban Lara Clarkson! Killing herself like that, tss.

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 08:37 (sixteen years ago) link

(homo = human, auto = self, imho, but that doesn't matter now)

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 08:49 (sixteen years ago) link

homos = same

Just got offed, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 08:53 (sixteen years ago) link

cide?

Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 09:43 (sixteen years ago) link

probably gang related. eascide, wescide.

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 09:49 (sixteen years ago) link

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

Just got offed, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 09:52 (sixteen years ago) link

oh noes, sonned in an internet greek/latin beef :-(

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 10:05 (sixteen years ago) link

POSSESSUS

Just got offed, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 10:08 (sixteen years ago) link

Hang on a minute, I'm getting confused here - is Spector being accused of shooting Westlife now? Surely he should get the keys to the city!

(Hamburg Ramönes - album: Free Phil Spector)

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 10:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Give me strength!

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!!!

What next, the Hamburg Mike Leanders?

Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 10:34 (sixteen years ago) link

It's time he came up with something new, why not let him ponder Wall Of Jail for a while?

StanM, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 10:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't know them, but they can't be any worse than Starsailor.

Mike Leander never killed anyone.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:01 (sixteen years ago) link

No but then the "Hamburg Mike Leanders" new album being "Free Gary Glitter" etc...

Mark G, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 11:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Does this mean that Dale will stop playing My Sweet Lord, Imagine, Unchained Melody etc. whenever they come up on POTP?

Kaboom?

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:35 (sixteen years ago) link

haha I take it you locked it. So what's the latest? I don't watch cable news or anything.

marmotwolof, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:37 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm not sure myself. Something about contempt of court against one of the lawyers.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link

i was completely kidding around in that other thread. i'm surprised that got locked. sorry, i guess?

andi, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:49 (sixteen years ago) link

i was serious in my second post of it, though.

andi, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:51 (sixteen years ago) link

his ex-lawyer didn't want to testify against him. she didn't say a word. she's been held in contempt, now.

andi, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:51 (sixteen years ago) link

bruce cutler's soul past through me, that's all i can say.

andi, Thursday, 21 June 2007 03:55 (sixteen years ago) link

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".

one month passes...

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.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 August 2007 00:29 (sixteen years ago) link

Court TV has the video.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 11 August 2007 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Obviously this doesn't excuse Spector in the slightest

I mean maybe she went into her "routine." Justifiable homicide.

The other lawyer who quit today.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 27 August 2007 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link

why would that video of her shitty comedy be admissible?

appalling

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Have a heart, he just switched to Sanka.

sexyDancer, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:37 (sixteen years ago) link

I think because it fit the defense argument that she shot herself in a desperate attempt to bring attention to her failing career. Focusing on a terrible audition reel would make sense if you think she was so unfunny she would have needed an insane stunt to raise her stock up. And if you ignore the forensic evidence.

dad a, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:48 (sixteen years ago) link

the forensic evidence seems so massively stacked against him.

money buys "justice" once again.
