HSR3 1 Posted July 4, 2007 Hmm interesting. I've heard that he's been obsessed with violence for a long time; during the production of Leonard Cohen's album Death of a Ladies' Man, he apparently held a gun to Cohen's head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 20, 2007 I say give Specta ... like a year of community service - six days a week and make him donate money to various funds. On result of his depression and his mental issues and his drinking problem, from my view a twenty year sentence is very harsh because who knows what the actual circumstances were. If OJ Simpson just got released on bail from being involved with an armed robbery, they should lay off on Spec. OJ Simpson is an angry man full of rage, he was in 1994 and he still is. My point - I would sure as hell like to see OJ Simpson in jail rather then Phil Spector. I'll tell you if Spector gets free he won't be writing books 'If I did it' OJ Simpson should be in jail getting peer mediation and he should be reading his bible inside a closet sized cell. He should be on his knees everyday praying to his lawyer Johnnie Cochran. He owes that guy his life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted September 21, 2007 I'm not sure what's more surprising - that despite apparently threatening no less than seven other women with a gun in his illustrious career as a paramour, pointing guns at, among others, Leonard Cohen and Dee Dee Ramone, and saying "I think I killed someone" when the cops showed up the night of Lana Clarkson's death, yet another LA jury apparently isn't able to convict a murderer. Or that he convinced a 26 year old "starlet" (ok, that's a bit of a stretch) to marry him in 2006. From wiki: "Spector married aspiring singer and actress Rachelle Short on September 1, 2006." Can I have Rachel Short for DL 2008 please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 21, 2007 Not just Dee Dee Ramone but I heard he held 'The Ramones' at gun point in his living room. I think he ordered them to play 'Sedated' or 'Pet Cemetery' in his presence. All I can say is he better not kill Rachelle Short, it's about all he has.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 29, 2007 I hope that I'm not the only person to recognize this But is the Justice system in this country 'Well If your loaded' we have lack of evidence? I thought Spector confessed at the crime? I thought he was playing with guns for the passed thirty five years? Phil Spector might have been a top rated producer in his time, but when it comes (to women - and giving) it seems to me that he never learned that he got 'Guns and Roses' a little mixed up. Or should I say f**ked up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAFKAG 70 Posted January 28, 2009 Looks like Phil's been using his legendary Well of Sound © again. River Deep, Fountain High. Prosecutors in the retrial alleged that when the jury in the original trial toured his home, Spector tried to manipulate the noise made by a fountain in his courtyard to make it seem as though it could have muffled the sound of his voice when he allegedly said, "I think I killed somebody" to his chauffeur.

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted April 14, 2009 The last note of Lana Clarkson (to the music of Da Doo Ron Ron) I knew one day that he would make my heart stand still My daddy said, "Just run girl, run, run, run" Somebody told me that his name was Phil "That nutter's got a gun, girl, a gun, gun, gun" Yes, my heart stood still Yes, his name was Phil And when I saw that gun Shoulda been a good girl, a nun, nun, nun I knew what he was doin' when he caught my eye He said his favourite surf song was "Fun, fun, fun" He was so evil, I knew I'd die Evil as Hitler, the Hun, Hun, Hun Yes, he caught my eye Yes, it's time to die And when I went to his home He told me how he once scared Joey Ramone Drank his rum, rum, rum, he got a gun, gun Shoulda listened to his first wife, Ronnie, Ron, Ron Picked me up at seven and his hair was huge Now I'm gone, gone, gone, now I'm long gone My face lost all its colour, I needed rouge He molested his son, son, son, his poor son, son He made that wall of sound Now, I'm in the ground And long after I'm gone I'll miss the sun, sun, sun, the hot sun, sun Drank his rum, rum, rum, he got a gun, gun Shoulda listened to his first wife, Ronnie, Ron, Ron (repeat and fade out away) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
