RJ ESKOW ON PHIL SPECTOR
I think this is a brilliantly thought out and articulated piece of writing. The kind that makes all this blogging and internet connecting so instantly worthwhile.
Very good writing and observation. Same thing that happened to Leonard Cohen & Spector (Spectre) happened to the Ramones... only worse. He held them hostage like Lana Clarkson ! Also, what Eskrow implies about Spector's job on Let It Be is true. He F-ed it up, with all those schmalzy strings and women's choruses. Paul hated it, and John only allowed it to spite Paul. (They actually made up later... long story.)
