Phil Spector All Verklempt in the Snake Pit

Phil Spector All Verklempt in the Snake Pit

Your heart has to go out to the pathetic Phil Spector, seen here in his glory days.

Spector was sentenced in June to 19 years for sticking a gun in the mouth of actress/model Lana Clarkson and pulling the trigger in the living room of his stately mansion.

He’s actually a pretty lucky guy since he’ll only be 88 when he’s released in 2028 whereas Bernie Madoff will be a ripe, old 221 when his term is up in the year 2249–and Bernie didn’t even kill anyone.

(For further detail on Spector’s crime and trial, see “Phil Spector, Justice Served, Justice Denied,” http://bit.ly/16XcJN.)

In recognition of the 69 year old Spector’s specialness, prison authorities placed him in the “sensitive-needs” section of the California State Prison at Corcoran where he is isolated from the general population and need not partake of his victuals sitting elbow to elbow with criminals.

Still, the “mad genius” of rock and roll is terrified residing in that “snake pit” of a place and is, therefore and understandably, an unhappy camper-inmate in his 3X7 foot cell. . . .
