This is Spinal Tap
"As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll."

This post is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Spinal Tap's many drummers (list courtesy of Wikipedia):
John "Stumpy" Pepys (1964-1969) -- Died in a bizarre gardening accident
Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs (1969-1974) -- Choked on vomit (possibly not his own)
Peter "James" Bond (1974-1977) -- Spontaneous combustion
Mick Shrimpton (1977-1982) -- Onstage explosion
Joe "Mama" Besser (1982) -- Missing, presumed dead
Richard "Ric" Shrimpton (1992-1999) -- Allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs, presumed dead
Plus 14 other drummers at various times of whom all are dead
Hope everyone's having a grand Memorial Day weekend!
