He comes in through the back door, says David Kessel, and hes got each arm around a different woman, in his right hand hes got a bottle of whiskey and hes drinking it straight. Allen Ginsberg followed close behind with his lover, the poet Peter Orlovsky. Seeing them Spector jumped up and hailed them over the studio monitor. There were so many Jews in the room they could have a bar mitzvah, he joked. Work stopped while Spector came down to socialize. There was much hugging and drinking, then, as happened to any anyone who came into Spectors studio, the visitors were put to work. Leonard Cohen was recording Dont Go Home with Your Hard-On, a boisterous commentary on domestic bliss. Dylan, who was in the process of being divorced by his wife, Sara, seemed to have no problem entering into the spirit of the song. Ginsberg said later that Spector was in a total tizzy, ordering everybody around, including Dylan: Get over there! Stay off the microphone! But that was the way Phil worked; he wasnt trying to run us into the ground, he was looking for that feeling.
