Shmuck button pushers probably came and went on a weekly basis. I’m sure Ladd wouldn’t remember an inconsequential tool like STeVe.

Well of course! Steve was taken under the wing of some jaded, old, cranky old timer, who, of course, could be shitty...but not to STEVe! StEve was everybody's friend! Most importantly, he was there and YOU WEREN'T!

Of course STeVe has a story with so many names to mention:

Hoffman only got married in 2000. The little incident involving Lana Clarkson took place in 2003. And it happened at a time where Phil Spector, after years of being reclusive, was making an effort to go outside and meet people, which caused him to drink more than he should. Unless of course this party took place later, while he was free on bail. So…

I’d say it was bullshit.

There are tons of other details that sound wrong. Why would Huffy bring his wife to an event that involves boring old farts (coincidentally all dead now) that mean nothing to her, while the host to the party has a well established reputation for being half-insane (Spector was depicted as a control freak with murderous impulses as soon as 1969 in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and there were the stories about abusing Ronnie)? And notice that nobody else from that party had brought their wife or got their wife to accompany them outside the bowling alley. Besides, if I remember correctly, "single but ready to mangle" Phil from that era wouldn't exactly spend time reminiscing with his old pallies (who had some idea of his various issues) but would pop up at some random places like the House of Blues. But the yearly party recollection is Huffy in a nutshell. All the major guys who were involved with recording in the sixties would still meet socially regularly. Remember his stories about the Sunday breakfasts that all these legends would attend to talk about the good old days, where the only junior was Steve, who was basically putting this together on his own (and how come historians of that scene, like Andrew Sandoval, wouldn't attend these events?). Anyway, kudos to Hoffman for not including Jack Nitzsche, who died in 2000 but had spent most of his final years in the hospital. But, yeah, in just four lines, Hoffman casually serves us with a totally implausible meeting that he doesn't care to explain.

And that’s when Steve said to Phil, “I need about tree, tree-fiddy.”

I’d suggest that Mr & Mrs Hoofy were in a queue, probably miles from the front, and Spector et all may have been up at the door when this dude turned up with his supposed priceless quip. STeVE, starfucker that he is, was craning his vag-neck for any old-timer-music-biz-smalltalk to fuel his desperate fantasy that he’s part of the Hollywood elite. From some barely heard, mundane greeting he has concocted this thin tissue of horse shit. Narcissistic fantasy of the highest order.

Holy hell, that Phil Spector story. My eyes hurt reading that. Let me check my STeVE bingo card: His narcisstic attempt to promote himself as part of a 'brains trust' of celebrity record producers. Check. His sociopathic behaviour in using the names of dead people in telling these lies. Check. His misogynist streak evident in his inability to understand that Phil Spector is not a name to celebrate anymore. Check. And his moronic inability to write a humourous punchline -- If you are going to dress up a humble brag as a 'witty' anecdote, at least remember to use some wit. I suspect what happened here is Mr 'sounds like... years ago' started writing that bullshit Tweet and lost interest halfway through it?

Wasn’t Hoofy 25 years old in 1977? What’s school was he going to?

Just trying to figure which lies are canon or not is impossible. A wall of post-it notes and string may be needed to keep the timeline in order.
