- Their latest heavy-metal compilation bears the aromatic
- title Break like the Wind and includes such appallingly inane
- lyrics as "We are the guests who have stayed too long."
- Furthermore, they demanded that the CD be packaged in an
- extra-long cardboard box so that environmentally aware listeners
- would have a real reason to visit the local recycling center.
- Oh, no, it looks like Spinal Tap is back in town. Rock parodists
- HARRY SHEARER, MICHAEL MCKEAN and CHRISTOPHER GUEST, first heard
- in Rob Reiner's 1984 mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap, are once
- again perpetrating pop at its very worst, now aided and abetted
- by such legit stars as Cher, Slash and Jeff Beck. Break like the
- Wind is also inspiring a Spinal Tap concert tour and a TV
- special as part of what has surely become the most elaborate In
- joke in music history.
