So, forty years later they are still toiling away in the rock n' roll salt mine. That's so Spinal Tap!

Gives me one more reason to survive the winter months. And with a new host of rock stars!

You might be surprised how many people, even at Boomer age, who have no idea what that movie is about. Or perhaps the lack of recs gave hint, but everyone knows about amps that go to 11. Perhaps your title should have just been "These Amps Go To 12". haha
I'm telling everyone I know, and I have the DVD of the first one so they can expect to be indoctrinated in case they don't lie and fake knowledge fast enough.

Thanx for posting! Viewing party at my house in May.
