Note that the nervous guy who ran the Isle of Wight Festival looks
remarkably similar to Ian Faith, Spinal Tap's manager.
You're right, Don, I knew he reminded me of someone. He also participated in some Spinal Tap moments of his own making, such as:
- Let's give all the angry hippies 300 gallons of paint and brushes to paint the fences....you know, give them something to do...wait a minute.....they're painting obscenities and all sorts of nasty things on the fences.
- Let's let any drugged out person get up on the stage to say whatever they want to into an open mic. They're be no censorship here!
- I know.....I'll scream obscenities at the audience at the beginning of the show and basically call them all a bunch of idiots and morons......that'll win them over. There are only 600,000 of them, and I'll only have to deal with them for three days.
It was a very interesting concert, that's for sure.
