Phil Spector looks like a creepy old child molester

ACDC's best song is Let There Be Rock

Phil Spector has just been sentenced to 19 years to life in prison for murder. I continue to be surprised by this whenever I see a picture of him.

Let’s face it, if you didn’t know who he was, and you had to assign the most likely crime to the mugshot alone, you’d definitely go child molester. Totally creepy, like a Harry Potter fiend, and definitely scarier than Lord Voldemort.

In fact, you almost think better of him because of it, ‘ah well, he might have put a gun in Lana Clarkson’s mouth and blown her brains out, but at least he didn’t interfere with any kids – full credit for that!’ Maybe it was a defence strategy. Who knows? Me, and it definitely was.

But seriously, what an asshole. Five women from Spector’s past gave testimony that he’d threatened them with guns when they tried to leave his presence. Nice one dickhead.

And I don’t think he’s that great anyway. Wall of Sound recording technique – big deal. The Ronettes, the Righteous Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner and John Lennon – yeah maybe if any of them were any good.
