My mom’s sad. She used to tell me to pay special attention to the instrumental. I just heard “Then He Kissed Me” in the store a few days ago. Paid attention.
Maybe there’s an upside to dying in one’s prime.
Clay-footed giant of rock, RIP.

Ronnie Spector outlived him at 77.

So did Keith Richards.

It was probably an unintended discharge. Phil often played with guns, waving them around, pointing them, threatening.

“Lennon also said Spector was gonna kill someone someday”

Spector was notorious for getting loaded and waving a gun around the recording studio during sessions.

Beautiful, why did he kill her?

He was drunk and medicated beyond your wildest imagination. The guy was a midget, yet reportedly could drink a sailor under the table. And he had a history of crazy, violent behavior when intoxicated.

Spector had produced Lennon’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll” album. At one point Spector fired a gun inches from Lennon’s head. Lennon reputedly said “Phil, if you’re going to kill me, kill me. But don’t f**k with my ears. I need ‘em”. At one point Spector ran off with the tapes.

Didn’t know that but can’t say I’m surprised.

Paul McCartney was incensed at the overdubs Spector had done to “The Long and Winding Road.” Paul later cited this as one of the reasons he left the Beatles.

Never understood the musical appeal. Wall of sound just sounded like an assault on the ears to me. I will grant that “Be My Baby” was a good record but sort of starts and ends there for me.

It’s kind of hard to understand back when Stereo was still a novelty.

Records were produced to sound good on AM Radio.

Has a scientist measure the gravitational pull of that wig? There’s a paper to be written on that.
