Never thought I'd hear that news. I don't think I ever even put any thought towards Senior since I only saw Junior in a TV film as a kid.

Nancy Bush Ellis, the sister of one president and aunt of another, who for a time devoted herself to Democratic causes despite her family dynasty’s Republican lineage, died on Sunday at an assisted living facility in Concord, Mass. She was 94.

Her son Alexander Ellis 3d said the cause was complications related to Covid-19. She was hospitalized on Dec. 30 with a fever and tested positive for the coronavirus, he said. Her symptoms abated within days, he added, but her general health was failing.

Smart, athletic and outgoing, Ms. Ellis exuded the patrician charm of a bygone era, Jon Meacham, the historian and biographer of President George Bush, said in a phone interview. She was active, he added, at a time when public service was perceived as noble and politicians from the other party were not regarded as enemies.

US music producer Phil Spector has died at the age of 81, while serving a prison sentence for murder.

Spector, who transformed pop with his "wall of sound" recordings, worked with the Beatles, the Righteous Brothers and Ike and Tina Turner.

In 2009, he was convicted of the 2003 murder of Hollywood actress Lana Clarkson.

His death was confirmed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

My sympathies are very limited.

^Yeah, you hear stories about him from the past and it's clear he was always over-the-edge. He also screwed up Let It Be with his wall-to-wall sound.

He was very influential and a genius producer, unfortunately all of those talents he had were hiding behind a much darker worse person, with a very twisted mind. It's rather unfortunate all things considered.

He had an eye for talent and facilitated some great acts, but his Wall-of-Sound approach to actual record producing got carried away.

[Trey Strain]

Sometimes the wall of sound worked extremely well, as on George Harrison's album All Things Must Pass. The combination of Harrison and Spector really clicked. I think it's the best solo Beatle album.

But more than a few people have told some awful stories about Spector. Once when he was mad at Ronnie he got up before she did and broke glass all over the floor of their bedroom, so she couldn't get out of bed. Another time he took their son to a restaurant and didn't buy him anything. When he had finished eating he pushed his scraps toward the boy and told him he could eat them.

Yep, that's one of the successes. It probably came from a combination of Harrison's lack of confidence in his vocals and a truer collaboration between the two (as opposed to Let It Be, which the Beatles pretty much handed it over).
