Well, it was fun while it lasted. Which wasn't very long.
A Twitter user pretending to be Phil Spector admitted that he wasn't the real deal yesterday after some media reported that the convicted producer was somehow Tweeting from prison. Launching the Spector Twitter feed just as the legendary producer was sentenced to 19 years in jail for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson in 2003, the pretender posted a serious of rambling posts, some referencing Spector quotes from the past, and many focusing on his new friendship with a cockroach named Wilson.
But yesterday the imposter posted: "I am NOT Phil Spector. I made this account as a joke. Befriending a cockroach? C'mon folks... even Phil's not that crazy". Concluding his week tweeting as Spector, the mysterious tweeter remarked: "I even fooled many media outlets. It was fun but I feel it has ran it's course". Unfortunately the faker has now deleted the account so you can't go and relive the glory of that week of made up Spectorisms.
