It's hard to have a memorial for someone whose still alive David St. Hubbins, aka Micheal Mckean said.
After more than 40 years the main three writers, artist and actors, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Mckean return as the core of "Spinal Tap," along with the bands rockumentary commentator Rob Reiner.
The bands new drummer Valerie Franco is Didi Crockett, the Tap's first female drummer, and she rocked the drums, she's a true musician. Does she survive, given the history of Spinal Tap drummers? I've seen the movie, and I'm still uncertain.
The clever goofiness reigns on, I laughed and I'm still laughing about the Holdy award and Tap Water. The Holdy is an award given to song writers whose music is played while people are on hold.
Spinal Tap and their guest performers rose to the occasion of music. Sir Paul McCartney and Elton John fit the Tap with aplomb as guest musicians. The humor was wry and sly, and full of jabs on the business end of the music industry.
"Spinal Tap II The End Continues," like its 1984 predecessor "Spinal Tap" showcases the musical talent of the writers and preformers while also making fun of themselves. Four stars easy for the sequel.
