Here's another fun fact. Fairfax High was also the Alma Mater of Jerry Lieber (RIP) & Mike Stoller who later worked with him like a Mentor/Protege relationship. They along with Ben E. King wrote Stand By Me which of course was played at Harry & Megan's Wedding. It was also the School that Brian Wilson's former first wife Marilyn Rovell was a student at and he tried to form a singing group called the Honeys (Female Slang For Surfer Girls), with her her sister Diane and cousin Ginger but they didn't go far although Wendy & Carnie became successful as 2/3 of Wilson Phillips.
Phil's admiration of Wagner reminds me of a Larry David episode where Larry,while waiting to get in to see a play is casually whistling “Siegfried Idyll” for his wife when another guy in line overhears him and becomes enraged and starts yelling about what a huge anti semite Wagner was etc.

Barney Kessel was Spector's favorite guitarist.
