Dave Barry II: Spinal Tap & The 'Ford -- Truth Revealed

Speaking of Dave Barry...I've always felt there was something strangely Haverfordian about Spinal Tap, the 1984 mockumentary about a fake rock band. The hyperintellectualism...the sincerity...the candid exchange of values that characterizes interpersonal relationships here on campus.

our very own Dave Barry '69.

Wow. And to think all these years I thought it was Christopher Guest who played Nigel. I guess you learn something new every day.
