The Phil Spector Trial: We Watch Court TV So You Don't Have To (06/07)

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY? Detective Mark Lillienfeld appeared on the stand again, this time under defense cross-examination. The defense attempted an O.J. strategy, trying to show errors in the way evidence was collected, but little damage was done. In Lillienfeld's opinion, the murder of Lana Clarkson seemed like a sex crime, given the way Clarkson was dressed at the time and that Spector most likely was high on Viagra.

IS THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SPECTOR? Bad. There was no evidence of evidence tampering, which is the joker in every defense lawyer's deck.

HAIR & WARDROBE UPDATE: New stylist? Phil Spector wore a tie.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
