WOW, HE TOOK THE NEWS HARD
or
Would this be the "wall of blood" technique?

ALHAMBRA, Calif. - Phil Spector, the legendary record producer whose "Wall of Sound" helped change the sound of pop music in the 1960s, was arrested Monday for allegedly shooting a woman to death at his suburban mansion. (full story)

And most of us look around and say "wait a minute, I thought he was dead, and had been for a while!"

As you may have heard recently (and I blogged about, not to toot TFM's own horn, hehe), the surviving Beatles have signed off on a project to release a clean, de-Spectorfied version of Let It Be in the coming months, right on the heels of the discovery of some previously lost tapes of the Beatles' Get Back work. Was this the straw that broke the Spector's back?

Or perhaps hearing what Tom Cruise and Tony Edwards did to "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" would have been his breaking point. Perhaps it would have been mine, hehe.

Anyway, oh boy, another show trial, another potential distraction from how we're getting robbed raped and pillaged by corporate America and the Bush regime, as well as from the empty case for war in Iraq, not to mention our "recovering" economy.

Robert Blake is gonna be pissed.
