The last time Phil Spector appeared here

It was back during his re-trial when he was found guilty. The hits on the Rant went off the radar and my guess is it was because I pinched this photo:

Now tell me doesn't look like he should be in this list of 25 Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians.

Wacky Phil Spector finally gets a re-trial on September 29. The jury was locked 10-2 (that's most in favour of a guilty verdict) when the murder trial judge decided to call the whole thing off a few months ago.

Wall of Sound engineer turned down

Audio engineer Larry Levine - the power behind nutty Phil Spector's throne and the man who put the vision of the Wall of Sound into reality - has died. Obit here.
