I did not know about the Peter Jackson project.

Fun story about Spector during his “Ronette Daze”...

At Gold Star studios (IIRC), he had a young kid as a gopher who, instead of getting paid, accepted free time in the studio.

That gopher and his girlfriend eventually recorded some songs and became pop stars in their own right.

The gopher was Sonny and his girlfriend was Cher.

That reminds me of the story about Mike Oldfield and how he got to record Tubular Bells, basically Richard Branson let him have free studio time to record it while he would play sessions for other artists.

I’ve got “Tubular Bells” on a SACD disk but no longer have a machine to play it on.

Still looking for an easy & convenient way to decode my many SACD disks to Hi-Rez DSD.

He choked on a hairball while grooming himself.

The wig will remain in prison to serve out the rest of his term.

Most people only know if it from The Exorcist, not realizing it’s a full album. And he played every instrument on it, and he was 19 years old at the time.

That album might be a good subject for another thread.

The sound quality of the entire album is truly exceptional - very high end.

When I hear the title track, my thoughts go first to Art Bell and not the movie.

Wow, such a beautiful woman to have such horrible taste in men!

And Ronnie Spector and Keith Richards dated.

he was nuts. He’d lure girls to his mansion for the usual and then he’d show off with a gun and point it at them. Who knows why. I saw a documentary on him. He wasn’t angry with her, he just got carried away. Then he begged his bodyguard/chaffeur to take the heat. But he was smart enough to call the cops.

Hubris killed him.

Perhaps, but they'll still blame it on COVID.

Great story in my book with Mark Stein, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.”

Mark and his wife Patti went over to Phil’s house to discuss him producing Mark’s album. He got weirder and weirder, until he finally went out of the room & came back with a gun and literally held them hostage all night. Finally, he was distracted & they got out of there.

I don’t know X?

Do you....I mean do you think I loathe you and your little woke fake conservative tribe here because I’m an asshole

Or because y’all are?

I do know this....you’re a one note Johnny about the south and race and have never been honest about it
Your peers have from time to time been purged when found out...they are listed on my profile for anyone who remembers

Many of you were nevertrumpers which is not surprising

And here we are we’ve lost our country in a stolen election

A far left power structure of politics media tech academia and corporatism many of whom share your same views on the South and the white race and traditional western values stand ready to completely transform our country into a socialist cultural Marxist one hellbent on anti Christian and anti White “solutions “

Folks are tearing down Lincoln statues same as Lee now

And yet you are still here beating the same drum

Still unsatisfied not of America is getting purged

And you wonder ....is it me?

Or your agenda I detest

Buddy you’re the enemy

You’re not here as a conservative

You’re here as an observer I suppose

Maybe you go back to Reddit and regale your pals

Who knows

That’s sorta the point with you and nearly all your pack

Only a couple have ever come out

I mean who knows

I suspect you’re a gay black man....who can’t quite stomach the left

But I could be wrong

And I don’t mean that as an insult....you pay attention here a long time and tells come and go

He should’ve gone to prison alone for what he did to Ronnie.

Jewish folks have a defensive reflex, it’s true. Having the Democrats wanting to annihilate every last Israeli Jew can cause people to develop a complex.

So yes I agree with you but maybe now you can let it go.

Respectfully submitted

Dude, you are one sick _____. You seriously never thought maybe the things you actually say here turn people off?

Obviously, you're the one with the secret agenda here. It slips out from time to time, in posts like the one I'm responding to.
