Sent Mikal Gilmore Harvey Kubernik's Article - What Happened When Phil Spector Met Leonard Cohen?

  • One last point, Mikal. I have studied Cohen's ever changing comments about Phillip and ultimately he relents and admits that Phil Spector's body guards were armed. I have no idea if that's the case. My friend, John Barry, said he never saw Phillip armed with a gun in a studio and very quickly realized Phillip was set up. Harvey Kubernik wrote an article at the time that I believe really captures the Cohen-Spector sessions and he is now writing a fascinating series for Goldmine on Phil Spector (Part 4 is the latest piece) which are phenomenal.
