You have to get to the end of this story about the 20th anniversary of A Mighty Wind (has it really been that long?) to find out that there may be a Spinal Tap Two in the making.

The writer AND editor have never seen the movie in question. Mickey plays an autoharp for crying out loud. Not a bleeping harpsichord…
Just another reason why journalism is dead and should stay that way…
Yeah, that was funny. Even if it was a harpsichord, one wouldn’t “strum” it.
Paul Bunyan would.
It just shows the impenetrable ignorance of every person in the production chain that nobody read “strummed a harpsichord” said “wait a minute, that doesn’t sound right”…. I guess spell check and minimal homophone errors are all we can expect now.
Uh, I think the title was A Mighty Wind. It’s one of my favorite movies, and I thing Christopher Guest’s best work.
All of the confusing misstatements of dates in the article not withstanding, the one informative thing that I didn’t realize was that The Folksmen had appeared on SNL in the early 1980s. I was deeply immersed in the Peacekeeper ICBM development, and didn’t watch much TV at the time. God, those guys were SO young! It would certainly be a hoot to see a bunch of old geezers doing a concert – oh, wait, I saw the Stones in 2006 in the Hollywood Bowl…
Gayly the troubadour strummed his harpsicord, as he dragged it down the road strapped to a board!
I still haven’t seen Spinal Tap.
