' PHIL SPECTOR Birthday-Biorgraphy- ' Movie, Review - Trailer Sums Up Controversial Trial - Spector Movie Review



'I have devils inside of me I'm my own worst enemy.'Phil Spector


It Must Be Something for PHIL SPECTOR to have his Birthday celebration one day after his famous Christmas album gets played all over the place at Chrstimas. Of course, these days Spector languishes in jail, probably not able to really appreciate much of anything . You can hear that album in its entirty by scrolling further down this site. It's just sad that a man of his talent  had to have   mental  issues get in the way of  a fully successful  and happy life.  See the 'Agony and Ecstacy of Phil Spector,'the only real  in depth interview with the man, filmed just  shortly before the trial, pershps five years ago. You get a glimpse of a realitvely 'normal;' involved and engaging personality.  These rare interviews were done, no doubt in  Spector's attempt to exohnerate himelf before the trial .
Here's a trailer for 'Agony and Exstatcy'followed by a 2005 interview film, apparently produced by the wife of the great Wrecking Crew (Spector's )  drummer form the Wall of Sound days, Michelle Blaine  In the second film, we hear Rachelle Spector, Phil;'s wife chiming in from time to time.

Meet His Wife and Why She Believes Spector is Innocent plus 

Note Spector's offer of $100,000  to take a polygraph test to any of the women in testimony who claim Spector threatened their lives.






...and an HBO documentary film about Phll Spector, another apparentl attempt to exhonerate Spector, which came under controversy from both sides , for and against Spector's verdict

This trailer from 'PHIL SPECTOR' sums up the film pretty well... listen closely to the words. Now you don't need to watch it, unless your'e a big Phil Spector fan, as I am. All I can say is it's too bad he ever met Laura Clarkson

Re PHIL SPECTOR movie last nite, Interesting and sad how Spector's life is now in prison and while others, perhaps more guilty , like Robert Blake and Robert Wagner, are free - probably because they are more agreeable people..So much for US jury system and innocent until proven guilty....the public may have bee ready to finally put away a celebrity, especially one like Spector, after letting so many go free , eg OJ, Blake...


Movie could have been a lot better, perhaps with planned Bette Midler as attorney. Knowing Spector's genius music producing I wanted to like him and did to some extent. Would have liked to see more background footage of his difficult yet positive past. Http://oldiescountry.com

Book review: ‘If Kennedy Lived:

An Alternate History’ by Jeff

Greenfield

 [starrating]

By H.W. Brands, Published: October 25

Would Rocky Marciano have beaten Muhammad Ali if their primes had overlapped? Could Ted Williams have hit Bob Gibson’s fastball? Would John Kennedy have defeated Barry Goldwater in a race for president?Jeff Greenfield is silent on boxing and baseball, but his current contribution to fantasy politics includes a Kennedy victory over Goldwater in 1964, following Kennedy’s survival of the assassination attempt by Lee Harvey Oswald 50 years ago this November. Fantasists will find “If Kennedy Lived” intriguing — students of the real world less so.

(The Penguin Group) - “If Kennedy Lived: The First and Second Terms of President John F. Kennedy: An Alternate History” by Jeff Greenfield.

There are two reasons to engage in counterfactual history. Greenfield prefers the more lenient label “alternate history.” One is to identify critical events, hinge points of history, and analyze why they turned out the way they did. To ask whether there would have been a Cold War if Franklin Roosevelt had lived to complete his fourth term is to conduct a thought experiment on the causes of the breakdown of the Grand Alliance of World War II. Were personal considerations crucial — was Harry Truman overly suspicious, perhaps? Or were larger factors decisive?Yet guessing can be fun, which is the second reason to engage in counterfactualism. Historical fiction has a long lineage. Homer, Shakespeare and Dickens indulged, as did countless authors less distinguished. Greenfield amuses himself concocting a second inaugural gala at which the Beach Boys sing “Fun, Fun, Fun (in a Second Term With JFK)” and Roy Orbison croons “Oh, Pretty Woman” (“This one’s for you, Jackie,” he says). Kennedy brings the Beatles to the executive mansion and declares, “Not since the British burned the White House in 1812 has a foreign invader conquered our land as swiftly and thoroughly as have John, Paul, George, and Ringo.”
