According to Billboard.com, SPINAL TAP will embark on a 30-date concert tour this spring.

Have they jumped the shart yet. Break like the Wind sucked. Tell Christopher Guest I want my 10 bucks back and his wife has a dick.

Break like the Wind was pretty bad, I bought it used for a few bucks and felt ripped off.
I missed the last "tour" in the early 90's, I'd go check this out if it was free.
I love This is Spinal Tap, but this is really milking the movie.

IMO This Is Spinal Tap is a masterpiece every else they have tried to do afterwads has been shit.
