Quote from Phil Spector...

I can't decide whether this is the world's most devastating putdown or evidence for his insanity defense:

?I respect Andrew Lloyd Webber?s work so much,? he said, ?that someday I?d like to set it to music.?

I saw "Superstar"

When it first came out as a child and was blown away by it. The rest or Webber and Rice's works SUCKS. Superstar is soooooooo much different than the rest of the crap they did

It looks like insanity to me.

I think it's a funny putdown

In fact it probably harms any insanity defense attempt.

It reminds me (you'll like this, Ed) of an old Woody Allen line from his standup days. He said he was working on his next book, a non-fiction version of the Warren Report.
