The Phil Spector Trial: We Watch Court TV So You Don’t Have To

7/11/07, 9:16 am EST


WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY?
Playwright John Barons took the stand as the first of a likely parade of defense witnesses that will testify about Lana Clarkson’s “depressed” mental state leading up to her death. Barons had cast Clarkson for the part of Marilyn Monroe, her dream role, in a play he had written, only to fire her days before the play was to open. Barons said he only cast Clarkson because she was an acquaintance of filmmaker Roger Corman, and later dropped her from the production when she tried to claim responsibility for some script rewrites. The defense delicately attempted to paint Clarkson as a fame seeker while trying not to offend the jury by speaking too ill of her.

IS THIS GOOD OR BAD FOR SPECTOR?
Neither. While the defense showed Clarkson might have been depressed after being fired, the prosecution got Barons to admit she was nowhere near suicidal from the ousting.

HAIR & WARDROBE UPDATE:
Spector successfully coordinated his new wig with a silver-gray suit, periwinkle-blue shirt and blue tie.

With all the great innovations that he brought to studio rock n’ roll recording, he’s entitled to one dead body. how many does Jerry Lee have, four or five? Seriously, if he was still making records, could you imagine how different and vibrant pop music would be? Maybe he wouldn’t be on his way to prison right now? Jay-Z and all these clowns don’t have the first damned clue how to produce a record. What a shame.

Mr. Spector was responsible for creating a certain “sound” that was applied to some records back in the 1960’s that became popular. Face it, the “sound” was a fad and didn’t last. Despite this minor contribution to the music world, and the fact that he has lived off of the reputation for this “sound” for the past 40 years, the media portrays him as some sort of musical wizard or genius. Today he’s just a washed-up, over-rated, geriatric with a gun and power fetish who happened to point a gun at one too many people; this time it went off.
