This has become quite a ritual and one which we both enjoy very much. We have six cats all but the latest one being rescue cats. Our kitten is an Ocicat and is quite adorable as are all the others. They enjoy this time too. Funny as this may seem, after visiting Phil Spector's webpage this morning, I have an overwhelming sense of loss and dread at the thought of his being incarcerated. All the enjoyment, beauty and fun that his immense tome of work brought to the world makes me feel deeply sad at the turn of events his life has taken. He truly is a creative genius...possibly not easy to live with but nonetheless prodigiously creative and talented. Of course I feel compassion for poor, dear Lana and her loving family. I also feel anger at how he handled guns to quell his sense of impotent rage when confronted by women who did not wish to be controlled. I am not condoning his misogyny and his repeated misuse of firearms. That is all reprehensible but to lose forever his musical contribution will be a sad day indeed for the world. He is a complex character who could not go through with his psychological therapy because of a collision of factors: his early overwhelming success and his subsequent treatment as a demigod in the music world and his tragic childhood. I don't think he could allow a therapist to confront him about his immaturity and rage. He would not have liked a therapist to refuse to bow and scrape to him as all those with whom he associated did from an early age. A good therapist would not have colluded with him in maintaining a deluded sense of importance and I think Phil would have found all of that too difficult. He eluded the demons he needed to face by hiding behind alcohol, wealth and gigantic professional reputation. But in order to come out of his perpetual emotional adolescence he needed to examine himself at painful length and he was not able to do so. Had he succeeded, this scenario would not now be playing out on the world stage. I think Phil is guilty of murder but I still mourn his loss and wonder how he will handle an environment like prison where his aesthetic sensibilities will be trampled underfoot.Virginia Waldron Australianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-27789106590603279052009-04-06T19:50:00.000-07:002009-04-06T19:50:00.000-07:00awww....we do appreciate you, Sprocket.
