JCC 2021 Deadpool-ish

Phil Spector, just announced.

 

I hope his funeral music is produced with a wall of sound.

The dude murdered someone?

 

And then after that he repeatedly murdered style by showing up to his trial in some godawful wigs.

 

Yeah, no great loss there.

 

Truly a crime against humanity

There's a HBO movie that tells the tale, with Pacino and Helen Mirren

 

You have to get over your hatred of The Ronettes, it will tear you apart.

Friend of mine sent me an email on that since I recently watched the series on Sky Atlantic. From what that showed of the helicopter crews flying near the reactor I'm surprised he made it to 78 without dying from cancer or something else radiation-related.

 

Yeah, that's pretty decent innings all things considered.

 

I thought the same thing.

 

IIRC, the pilot who did most of the flying closest to the reactor died of cancer years ago. Buried with many well-deserved honors.

 

Phil Spector was a bad dude. But he did produce some great records back in the day. And, you know what, his negative impact on Let It Be has been exaggerated over the years!

Why do I feel like that's more controversial than if I was trying to argue he wasn't guilty of murder?

 

Writer/Producer David Richardson.

 

For a second I was scared since he worked on some of the same shows as my friend's husband, but it's not him. One of his co-workers though.

RIP.
