Phil Spector: Murderer!

where's Marcello

ha, was coming here to see if anyone asked this. no doubt he's on a plane, with a list of the jury's home addresses, to give them the hairdryer treatment.

Yesterday's mug shot: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/mugshots/spectormugshot1.html

Ehhhhhh... imo Spector lives (and brings to life in his music) the creepy pathologies that Nick Cave has made a career out of method-acting.

tru, forever classic just for that

because obviously actually killing people is way more awesome than just singing about it.

it's more authentic

it's time to stop romanticizing the whole "dude pulled a gun on the Ramones in the studio!" stuff...

dunno if people romanticized that sort of thing -- the moral of those stories was always that Phil was a weird, fucked up dude, not that Phil was supercool or something.

ha ha

lolz

who will play Phil Spector in the TV movie

malcolm gladwell

wasn't tom cruise supposed to play him at some point?

Crispin Glover?

didn't John Turturro play him (or someone like him) in a movie?

"Prison folks will sing 'Be my baby' as the welcome song"

I must confess it made me laugh hard.

wasn't tom cruise supposed to play him at some point?

one freak to play another? makes sense, i s'pose.

This urgent piece of news ran in a local paper the day after the verdict:

Man, some publicist is earning their keep.

That's one angle.

Sayer sent another one out about Napoleon being shorter than him, but somehow it didn't get published.

LOS ANGELES - Phil Spector sentenced to 19 years to life in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson.

dude's gonna have an interesting prison experience

Spector was just playing with my dick and suddenly it just went off, I swear.

I have no idea what kind of facility he's gonna go to, but for someone who's been protecting/surrounding himself with bodyguards/tough guys since he was a teenager, he may be in for a bit of a shock

"Tiny": C'mere Phil....yeah, you're just the right height. Go to town.
Phil: eep!

"Wall of sound, eh? Yeah you'll make a sound of sorts after I bash you up against a wall."

He did it.

Somehow I don't believe that's really him twittering. Look at the background for pete's sake.

that Twitter's gone :-(

The Daily Express fell for it: PHIL SPECTOR'S BIZARRE BLOG ENTRYS (sic)

Why did these papers not even consider the idea that this could be a hoax?

because that would have meant not running a story.

and since when did truth get in the way of a good story?

request thread title change to Phil Spector: Murderer! Twitterer!

also this interview has so many WTFs in it, came at a weird time in his career. Its quoted a bunch in the Ribowsky bio "He's A Rebel" but I'd never read the whole thing before: http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/philspector/articles/story/5939971/phil_spector_sounds_off

That works on so many levels ("screw" = prison guard)

you know what's weird is that Stephen Erlewine says on his review of the "Back to Mono" box set that some fan favorites like "Do the Screw" are missing. Kind of an odd comment given that the song is really obscure except as folklore.

its a 10 minute long joke song that's not that good and was never officially released, why would it be included? What a weird thing to complain about.

I gotta say; I like the song-- especially the monotonous radio voice (Spector?) that comes on and says "Dance the Screw" at the end of every verse. That voice is just perfect.

the song is also written about on Snopes.

That's so cool. That's so badass.

Rachelle Spector was very relieved to see her husband transferred out of North Kern State Prison where she complained that Spector was being abused. She even wrote a letter to prison officials about the alleged abuse in which she detailed how he was forced to sleep naked on the floor for two nights and to eat out of a bowl with his hands "like a dog."

That's really not how most dogs eat.
