31:10
SPEAKER_06: You know, they hid their identity or you know, they lived in an area where they had the privilege to get away with it.
31:15
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know how if we got all the passivity out when we talked about the fact that Phil wouldn't let her perform when they were there.

38:31
SPEAKER_02: Alright, well listen, let's play another one, and uh then I want to talk about her personal life and her death.
38:37
SPEAKER_02: Um and then we'll just kind of go from there because actually we just have time to play one and then we gotta go to commercial break.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: So that's your that's your uh cue, my little engineer today.
38:48
SPEAKER_02: Um play a song, uh a Raw Nat song, or I don't care, uh Spectre song, and then go to commercial break.
38:57
SPEAKER_02: I sure will.
38:58
SPEAKER_02: Number two.
38:59
SPEAKER_02: No, I don't have to go number two.
39:01
SPEAKER_06: This is the one that this is gonna be the um crossover she did with the misfits.
39:06
SPEAKER_02: Okay, sounds good.
39:23
SPEAKER_04: So we're gonna have some.
42:05
SPEAKER_02: Do you want me to read it?
42:06
SPEAKER_02: In New York City, yeah.
42:08
SPEAKER_06: New York City, after leaving a room they had booked.
42:10
SPEAKER_06: She was allowed to call Spector, who threatened the hotel, and then they allowed her to leave.
42:15
SPEAKER_06: After Spectre divorced his wife in 1965, he purchased a home in Beverly Hills, where he lived with Bennett.
42:21
SPEAKER_06: They married at Beverly Hills City Hall on April 14th, 1968.
42:25
SPEAKER_06: Bennett changed her surname and became known as Ronnie Specter.
42:27
SPEAKER_06: Their son Dante Phillip was adopted in 1969.
42:30
SPEAKER_06: Two years later, Phil surprised her for Christmas with adopted twins Lewis and Gary.
42:34
SPEAKER_06: Okay.
42:34
SPEAKER_06: Merry Christmas, honey.
42:36
SPEAKER_06: Here's your present.
42:37
SPEAKER_06: Babies.
42:39
SPEAKER_06: Interesting.
42:40
SPEAKER_06: So they didn't get together on like a very good note.
42:44
SPEAKER_02: No, and it goes on to say a couple of other things in there that weren't very pleasant either.
42:48
SPEAKER_06: The Spectre revealed in her 1990 memoir, Be My Baby, that following their marriage, Phil subjected her to years of psychological torment and sabotaged her career by forbidding her to perform.
42:58
SPEAKER_06: I mean, somebody as insecure as Phil Spectre.
43:01
SPEAKER_06: He not only is a murderer, but he's just an abuser, it sounds like she said he surrounded their house with barbed wire and dogs.
43:08
SPEAKER_06: Okay, this is getting cartoonish, and confiscated her shoes to prevent her from leaving.
43:12
SPEAKER_06: On the rare occasions he allowed her out alone, she had to drive with a life-size dummy of Phil.
43:18
SPEAKER_06: Weird.
43:21
SPEAKER_06: Specter stated that Phil installed a gold coffin with a glass top in the basement.
43:26
SPEAKER_06: Oh my god, promising he would kill her and display her corpse if she ever left him.
43:31
SPEAKER_02: Alright, so she left the house barefoot, too.
43:35
SPEAKER_02: Good for her.
43:36
SPEAKER_02: She broke out of the house.
43:37
SPEAKER_02: I saw that scene.
43:38
SPEAKER_06: In 1972, Spectre fled their mansion barefoot and without any belongings with the help of her mother.
43:43
SPEAKER_06: I knew that if I didn't leave, I was going to die there.
43:46
SPEAKER_06: She said, Yeah, the gold coffin would have worried me that I was gonna die.
43:49
SPEAKER_02: What was your first clue?
43:51
SPEAKER_06: Poor girl, though.
43:52
SPEAKER_06: I mean, when you're he I'm sure he was a really powerful person in the music industry too.
43:56
SPEAKER_06: Well, absolutely.
43:57
SPEAKER_06: And definitely in a time where people probably weren't taking women's concerns as seriously as they should be.
44:02
SPEAKER_06: She probably didn't have a lot of options, but to lie low until she could escape.
44:08
unknown: Yeah.
44:09
SPEAKER_06: Thank goodness she eventually got out, and her legacy lives on forever.
44:13
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
44:14
SPEAKER_06: Like, because what's Phil Spector's legacy?
44:16
SPEAKER_06: Frizzy Turtleman.
44:18
SPEAKER_06: Frizzy Turtle Turtleman.
44:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Frizy I don't know.
44:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I liked it.

SPEAKER_02: You got it.
44:25
SPEAKER_02: What do you got over there?
44:26
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm gonna let you do your pick.
44:28
SPEAKER_02: I I it really doesn't matter to me.
44:30
SPEAKER_02: I I'm really I I'm somewhat embarrassed, but I'm glad to that I'm getting a little bit of an education.
44:37
SPEAKER_06: Oh, you know, now's better than never, and it's a good way to celebrate her life.
44:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
44:41
SPEAKER_02: I and I and I just wish I'd have got to know her better uh earlier in life.
44:47
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, there's always that sort of thing.
44:48
SPEAKER_02: I always like the Ronette's.
44:49
SPEAKER_02: I mean I love the Ron Edge.
44:51
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
44:51
SPEAKER_06: Who didn't?
44:52
SPEAKER_06: And then there you go.
44:53

SPEAKER_06: Everybody knows that song.
45:03
SPEAKER_06: Everybody.

45:08
SPEAKER_06: Because I'm an American girl.
45:10
SPEAKER_06: Just like Ronnie.
45:12
SPEAKER_06: And I was gonna.
45:13
SPEAKER_06: We should end it on a high note, so I thought ending it with the raw net.
45:16
SPEAKER_02: Well, we got time for a couple of songs, so let's yeah, let's do let's do uh best part of breaking up.
45:20
SPEAKER_04: Oh baby when we break up from a flop for my way too much, and hold you all to me, baby.

48:39
SPEAKER_06: I was like, yeah, it's okay you don't know this stuff, but you are older than me.
48:42

48:43
SPEAKER_02: Well you know I'm seeing and I've been in radio longer than you are old.
48:47
SPEAKER_02: Yes, and so and I've done all these music, but I remember the wrong S, but I don't think nothing else.
48:53
SPEAKER_06: Yeah, well then that's superstardom really, where everybody knows just a little bit about you.
48:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess that's probably the best.
49:01
SPEAKER_06: Instead of just a couple of people knowing a ton of about you.
49:04
SPEAKER_02: I I I do remember thinking what a Rurian uh her husband was.
49:09
