The Phil Spector Trial: We Watch Court TV So You Don't Have To (06/14)

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY? Jaime Linetmoot, another LA Sheriff Dept. criminologist, testified about her role in inspecting Lana Clarkson's body, and the defense to show errors in her process. More happened, but Court TV has made it a habit to spend half the coverage day showing live footage of the trial of that North Carolina DA who tried to railroad those Duke lacrosse players. Had Court TV stuck with the Spector trial, they would've caught on camera the half-hour nap Spector took during the trial.

IS THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SPECTOR? Bad. In additional testimony not shown on TV, it was discovered the murder weapon had no prints, hinting that it was maybe "wiped clean."

HAIR & WARDROBE UPDATE: They weren't exactly pajamas, but Spector napped comfortably in a black-collared shirt and white tie.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
