I'm sure I will get shot down, but I can't get my head around this:

The overwhelming majority of people will be familiar with Phil Spector because:
Record Producer / Wall of Sound / The Ronettes
In which guise he had a profound impact on popular culture. I'm not even sure I was aware he had been convicted of murder much later in life.
The point of obituaries is not to list all the bad things, or good things, a person has done, but to highlight the things they did that made them famous and or notorious.
I'm certain there will have been loads of people under say 40, who had never heard of Phil Spector or the wall of sound.
Also, quite why the picture editor had to find a picture of him looking like a vagrant is beyond me.
