“Profanity,” he said, “is the last refuge of the inarticulate prick.” And: “In a world where carpenters get resurrected, anything is fucking possible.” As long as you’ve got the timing right.”

“But if Spector treated the musicians like kings, he showed less consideration for the singers. “The musicians were all pros,” says Levine. “The singers, for the most part, were just kids.” But Spector regarded them simply as components in the machine, useful only for as long as he needed them and eminently disposable if he didn’t.”

“But then, what is happiness? It’s not a good woman, Phil Spector said, or a good man. It’s not money. It’s not hit records. “Happiness is when you feel pretty fucking good and you’ve no bad shit on your mind.” He closed his eyes. “A memory is a curse. Good health, bad memory, that’s about as happy as you’re going to fucking get, buddy…”
