Sharing Phil Spector's guilt

| | Comments (0) |

Spectorgun.jpg If Phil Spector is guilty of slaying Lana Clarkson, a lot of music industry feeders are guilty right along with him. Most of his biographies reveal a sick little fella who has been poking pistols in in people's faces for more than 30 years.

Spector was put on probation for a year in 1972 after pleading out to a misdemeanour of carrying a loaded firearm in a public place. He also pled guilty to a another misdemeanour of brandishing a firearm in a Beverly Hills hotel in 1975. That got him a stiff two years probation.

A string of music industry hustlers and celebrities got handguns stuffed in their faces. Hoping to do business off Spector or for whatever reasons, they did nothing about it. If they didn't want to call the cops on a sick dude, they could have had him committed for care. Do something, anything. But perhaps bizarre behavior is so common place in the field of pop music at the time that the incidences were no more than a good story to fascinate friends later.

Too bad Lana Clarkson isn't around to enjoy it.
