This guy seems like a total freak. How the court couldn’t see that he shot that woman is beyond me.

They had a documentary on The Ramones on Showtime last week and they recall the horrible experience of working with Phil Spector.

He would spend hours just recording one guitar note over and over, would mutter to himself or start screaming out for no apparent reason!

When Johnny Ramone had enough and decided to leave, Phil threatened to shoot him if he did so.

So this is not unchartered territory for Phil. Hopefully they nail the son of a bitch this time around!
