Spinal Tsp moments that actually happened

Spinal Thrift Savings Plan

A Prince show in Birmingham, AL in 1983:

Later in the show, Prince had a quick change after which he reemerged via a hydraulic lift for “Darling Nikki.” First, Prince bumped his head under the stage climbing onto the lift. Then, the song started and once again mechanics failed…this time with just the top of his sore cranium protruding into the audience sight lines. It looked like a cantaloupe laying on the stage. Finally, a couple crew guys pushed him the rest of the way up. He was not happy.

Later that same show:

The (literal) climax of the show was Prince climbing atop huge P.A. stacks where he’d grab a prop guitar rigged to mimic an orgasm by forcefully shooting harmless soapsuds well into the front rows. Sure enough, in the spirit of the entire night, when it came time to shoot his load, Prince’s Viagra-starved guitar failed and limply dripped jism to the stage.

Tell me about it...

The audiobook of Autobiography by Morrissey was read by the actor David Morrissey.

Perfect.

I wonder if someone else was in the running, and they thought, "nah, David MORRISSEY is too perfect."

also Morrissey demanding that his book be published as a Penguin Classic

Good one.
