Legendary music producer Phil Spector

I never seem to have any strong feelings over these sorts of trials. It sorts of just says that guys like Spector have got themselves into hot water and proved that they are only human. In some cases it seems somewhat a weird shame that such talent and genius can co-exist with such human failings, but it does. But the general public remember only the bad parts. I think they look "smaller" partly because they are not seen on a "pedestal" any more. So it could be a degree of our own pity looking at the person. I don't like to see stars brought down and publicly humiliated, probably because they have become symbols of talent and success in my mind, and it's as if my mind has been "wrong" about them, if you know what I mean.
