Quote from Ronnie's book, quote, this was a big thing with Phil.

If I lost control in front of a crowd, he hated it because that meant I was out of his control.

And on top of everything else, you came in off key.

He could only ever criticize my singing for technical reasons because he knew I didn't read music.

So I couldn't argue.

Don't bother coming to the party after the show, he ordered.

I don't want to see you there.

I went straight back to my hotel room and cried.

I suppose I could have gone to the party anyways but I never considered it.

Phil couldn't control what I did once I got out on stage but that wasn't a problem he had in our personal life.

So he is...

No future.

So following the incident where he was urinated on, Spector developed an intense obsession with personal protection.

Over time, his guns become more than defensive tools.

They become theatrical symbols of authority and intimidation.

naturally right like this guy doesn't just he loves guns right he likes to scare people with guns a lot yes and he loves a snub nose he loves a 38 dude he just like that's a pocket gun like crazy it's really easy to just whip it out and wave it in people's faces you know that's the perfect
