It was a girlfriend.

I would be sure and wash that cue; you never know where it's been.


In the late sixties Specter owned a "one of six" Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. Don't know witch I would rather have, the Balabushka or the coupe. I can just see him driving the Cobra to a Hollywood pool hall with the Bushka in the passenger seat.

Hair

yeah, later changed to the "wall of hair" :)
gotta give it to the guy . . . he was a snappy dresser!

The "wall of hair" looks like it could go up in flames like a tumbleweed

My hair looked like that 40-years ago

I don't even know what happened on his trial, I never watch the news.

Did you buy wigs the same place Spector buys his? You do know that is a wig, right? Spector is very nearly bald. Why would anyone spend money to have hair like that? Then again, he is quite nuts.

I think he got something like 20-to-life.

Phil Spector had two trails, I believe the first one ended in a mistrial, the second one convicted him.

He was convicted of killing a woman he had just met at a nightclub and then brought to his home.

The defense was that the woman killed herself with a gunshot wound to the mouth because she was depressed.

Nice cue, betcha he had a lot of nice stuff, oh well :frown:
