There are two types of people: those who think Spinal Tap is one of the greatest movies/bands ever, and those without a sense of humor. Me? I’m a Tapper for life. I even cut a record with a band, and we named that record “None More Black.”
And so it is with great excitement that I discovered that Spinal Tap will reunite, even if it is for some tree-hugging hippie fest to save the world. According to an article on MSNBC.com, the boys will reunite for a performance at Wembley Stadium in London as part of the Live Earth concerts scheduled worldwide for July 7. But global warming is going to kill us all, you say, so this is a good cause. Maybe, but I wanna go out listening to the soothing sounds of “Lick My Love Pump, in D-Minor.” That’s comedic gold, people.
Their last album was released in 1992, and since then the guys have been flung to the far corners of the earth:
Nigel has been raising miniature horses to race, but can’t find jockeys small enough to ride them; David is now a hip-hop producer who also runs a colonic clinic; and Derek is in rehab for addiction to the Internet.
Bottom line: I’m jacked. Who needs the ozone layer when the Tap can provide all the rock we need to survive?
