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.
