Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis
Spinal Tap is back, and this time the band wants to help save the world from global warming.
The mock heavy metal group immortalized in the 1984 mockumentary, "This Is Spinal Tap," will reunite for a performance at Wembley Stadium in London as part of the Live Earth concerts scheduled worldwide for July 7.
The original members of Spinal Tap will be there: guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), singer David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer). Rob Reiner, who both directed "This Is Spinal Tap" and played the fake documentarian Marty DeBergi in the film, will also be in attendance.
Reiner created a new 15-minute film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Pretty funny, looking forward to the big reunion if they don't break up 16 more times before then. Also: Mac must have paid a promotional fee, the serene glow of white apples is in almost every screen.
