Phil Spector Has No Friends

Legendary record producer, Phil Spector, couldn’t get any famous character witnesses to back him up during his murder trial this week.

This is largely to do with the fact he’s been known to make many enemies throughout his career. And also he rips on them all in an upcoming biography by Mick Brown called "Tearing Down the Wall of Sound".

He calls Michael Jackson "the most depressing, heinous thing. Starting out life as a black man and ending up as a white woman. What’s that all about? But the King [of Pop]? He’s no King . . "

"I don’t feel sorry for Brian Wilson. I never thought he was that talented to begin with . . . I’d be more impressed if somebody with a brain idolized me."

"I made her [Tina Turner] famous, and she resents that . . . But give it up, for God’s sake . . . Why say, ‘[Bleep] you.’ Just leave me alone."

"That’s where payola started. Everybody around Dick Clark went to jail, except for Dick Clark."

When asked who his closest friends were, Phil said, "My attorneys."

And that’s probably why he’ll be convicted for shooting Lara Clarkson in the face.
