- Spector, who died in prison in 2021, was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 19 years to life for Clarkson's murder.
- Ramone suggested Spector was "made an example of" by the justice system, referencing the acquittals of OJ Simpson and Robert Blake in their respective murder cases.
- Ramone confirmed Spector brought guns to the studio during the recording of the Ramones' 1980 album, End of a Century, but denied he ever pointed a gun at the band.
