In wacky Phil Spector news...
 

LA Jury Convicts Phil Spector

I do not know what to think of this guy. I've heard five or six different versions of how he held the Ramones hostage and he sounds like a grade-A looneytunes, but then again I don't know him. Sooo....*shrug*

He has interesting clothes and interesting wigs. That's about all I'm qualified to say.

I'm willing to bet that he has an out of control ego and thought he could get away with anything.

Worked out better for OJ, though.

Huh, I didn't know that Gollum took up acting. :\

Well that doesn't seem damning. :| Probably doesn't help that he stated in an interview that he was bipolar and "relatively insane".

The man is an amazingly talented record producer, and certifiably fucking looney tunes. I'm mean crazy to the point of making Michael Jackson look sane.

I'm frankly amazed he didn't kill anyone sooner.

From some accounts, it was touch-and-go when he held the Ramones hostage. Dee Dee and Marky got along with him, but that was because he had booze and drugs. Joey was in the throes of hero-worship and didn't want to step on toes. Johnny, who was the only one not afraid to be a dick, was the one who finally got them out of there by saying he didn't care whether Spector shot him or not.
