Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump".
This is my exact inner structure, done in a tee shirt. Exactly medically accurate. See?
This is my exact inner structure, done in a tee shirt. Exactly medically accurate. See?I hate to divert attention, but I've got a trivia bit I need answered, along the lines of good R&R movies: What's the name of the film that came out in the mid-'90s that was about an over-the-hill British metal band that was called out of retirement to do a tour (and I think it was all set in the U.K., IIRC)? The lead singer was a total mess, but it was a comedy, with a lot of historical (and hysterical) band stereotypes, just not as "Christopher Guest" as Spinal Tap. I know that you know -- c'mon!
I saw the last half of this movie the other night on cable with the guys from spinal tap as a folk group. Harry shearer was playing upright and was sporting a fisherman's beard.
Wasn't that funny, but was cool to see those guys together, spoofing a band, like god intended.

All of the Christopher Guest movies (Spinal Tap, Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, and A Mighty Wind [the folk music one]) are hilarious. Check 'em out!
The name of my mystery movie is: "Still Crazy," released in '98. About a band called Strange Fruit. Pretty damn funny. Thank you Google.

"This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of ******** sexuality and bad poetry."
"That's just nitpicking, isn't it?"

"Welcome to (Edwards) Air Force Base, and I just wanted to say what a treat it is to have you guys here; We're all such big fans and we have all of your records.....well not YOUR records, but of the whole rock and roll genre...I have one request. Could you play a couple of slow numbers, so I can dance?"
The movie is actually called (the comic strip presents)... "More Bad News" Features 2 of the guys from the British show Bottom, + French and Saunders. This is the 2nd part, the first, actually pre-dates Spinal Tap and goes along the same lines. You can pick up the more Bad News cd (ebay?) which is hilarious! Just about every track someone is quitting the band etc. I would definately recomend to watch/listen. The movie is a bit harder to locate but a must for anybody that has been in a band.
"It's in Dubly"
David St. Hubbins: Can you play...excuse me, Viv, can you play a bassline, uh, like Nigel used to do on "Big Bottom", can you double that? You recall the lines in fifths?
Viv Savage: Oh yeah. I've got two hands here, yeah I can do it.
