And Finally
Charles Manson wants to work with Spector, apparently
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 July 2009
I’m not sure whether I believe this, though it’s possible I suppose. Charles Manson, one of America’s most iconic of murderers, of course, mainly due to his loose connections with the Californian music scene in the late sixties, is reportedly keen to meet Phil Spector to discuss the possibility of the two men collaborating on some prison recordings.
It’s possible because Manson and the incarcerated music producer are now being held in the same prison – Corcoran State Prison in California. It’s Spector’s wife Rachelle who claims Manson is trying to make contact with her other half. She told the New York Post: “A guard brought Philip a note from Manson… He said he considers Philip the greatest producer who ever lived”.
Manson, of course, did dabble in songwriting, so perhaps he wants to record some of his own work. Though given Spector is planning to appeal his murder conviction for the killing of Lana Clarkson, I’m not sure forming any alliance with Manson would be such a good move just at the moment.
