Phil Spector is convicted of 2nd-degree murder
Legendary music producer Phil Spector has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2003 shooting death of an actress at his home in Alhambra, California. The six men and six women began their deliberations on March 26. Spector now faces 15 years to life in prison.
They let Robert Blake off easy. Shows what an expensive lawyer can accomplish. Toto sings pretty good. I had not listened to them before, that I recall.
I don't know if there are still chain gangs, but gets he the stripes, anyway. - I've considered him a dangerous person for many years.
I love the Johnny song, as well as Man of Constant Sorrow.
And I love The Unsinkable Molly Brown, edgar. You do realize there really was a Molly Brown aboard the Titanic, right? She saved a bunch of people in one of the life boats.
The Unsinkable Molly Brown inspired me to read up on Molly. She was considered a hero of the Titanic tragedy. The film, Titanic, does not show that much about her. Last time I visited my daughter, I noted the location of Leadvile in the Denver area, but it was too far to visit. Oh well.
They gave a sympathetic portrait of Molly (Kathy Bates), but on the life boat, the one thing she attempted to save people, she was made to shut up by a crew member.

There are several good records of They Call the Wind - I like Sam Cooke's.
I am not familiar with Pamela Holland, but she is very good. I like the Toto version, but to me The Animals' version of House of the Rising Sun is definitive. Not to say the only good one. I also like the B Dylan version. In it, the narrative comes from the girl's point of view.
