(00:47):
long ago when Phil Specter was the most successful creative
name in the music business. He produced massive hits that
influenced everyone from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, to Blondie,
the Ramans, and everyone in between. Phil Specter and the
music he created shifted in shaped American culture. But behind
his famous wall of sound there was a darkness, violence,

(01:10):
and an intense inferiority complex that those who knew him
and worked with him were all too familiar with, and
that led to the senseless murder of actress Lana Clarkson.
This is his story told by his so called friends.
Attribute This looks like the body of a forty year
old woman was discovered in the home of famed record
producer Phil Specter late last night and what authorities are

(01:32):
calling an apparent homicide. He told me that I just
married him for his money, for his fame, and you
know what, baby moments like those when he piled on
the anger and the insults, Moments like those. Sure, maybe
I did it for the money and the fame and
the attention. I'd say I didn't like what he had become,

(01:53):
but it's fairly obvious that he had always been that way.
The woman acted us. The Clarkson was found in a
pool of her own blood in the entryway to the home,
dead of a gunshot tom to the head. We're joining us.

is calling the incident and the accidental suicide, and his
name's lark Center kissed the guns. It was a long
walk to make to go from such a genius and
such a front runner, and such an inventive producer to

(02:35):
a man stuck in the accomplishments of his past, a
man who wanted to be admired so bad he would
literally hold admiration hostage in his own house. Blood on

spoken word, low fi beat noir, brought to you by
