Bill Wyman's essay on Phil Spector is the best thing I have read on the topic. Back when Spector was being tried for murdering Lana Clarkson I wrote about the case, because it was an oddly undramatic affair. I suppose the reality was that anyone who knew him reckoned it was bound to happen at some point. This is, of course, what made the crime so terrible: no one who could have done something exercised any agency.
Addendum: When can we separate the art from the artist is a complicated question. Here's a good discussion
