 During the past few years we’ve watched with interest the murder trial of producer/writer Phil Spector. A judge sentenced Phil 19 years to life last Friday for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson in 2003. Four years of the sentence is for personal use of a gun. You may remember that Clarkson died from a single shot to the mouth that was determined to be fired from Spector’s gun. The two met earlier that evening in a club. But the defense argued that Clarkson, a hostess at the House of Blues in Hollywood, was despondent over an unsuccessful career and committed suicide as a result. Spector plans an appeal. Phil Spector changed the pop music industry in the ‘60s for his fabulous “Wall of Sound” technique. He worked with stars such as Cher, The Ronettes and Leonard
Cohen in his prime... Spector once told a reporter that he suffered from bipolar disorder and had “devils fight inside me” |
