This Is Spinal Tap - Fools (PG)
When Nigel received his first guitar, it was in lieu of a grand piano. "He's a kid," his parents agreed, "he'll grow out of it. Why buy something expensive to be thrown away?"
When David played his first tour, he booked time off work. "Fame is fickle," friends reasoned. "Don't quit your day job."
When the band filmed This Is Spinal Tap, it was ridiculed. "A middle-aged attempt in vain at relevancy," papers declared.
When laying in David's arms after Wembley in 2009, Nigel contemplated these things. "Are we old now?"
"Oh yes," David whispered.
"Still foolish?"
"Of course."
"Good."

Be wise with speed. A fool at forty is a fool indeed.
