I could not do the film Spinal Tap because I was already at MTV and it was occupying all my time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was in the pilot for Spinal Tap before it was a movie.
I remember seeing 'Spinal Tap' at a young age and being like, 'That's how you perform comedy.'
My love of performing goes way back. My mom got me on 'Romper Room' when I was five - it was my favorite show. But they couldn't control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I'd jump around and do my little flips and routines. I wish I could get that tape now.
I would love to do a comedy spoof, like a Spinal Tap kind of thing.
On Saturday afternoons, there was a film, of course, and then we did about four shows between the films. And I would do a tap dance, a little military tap.
The movie Spinal Tap rocked my world. It's for rock what The Sound of Music was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be.
I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.
I don't know if you have ever seen the Woody Allen film 'Annie Hall,' but it is, in a way, to Los Angeles and 'Hollywood' what 'This Is Spinal Tap' is to many musicians.
I was lucky enough to get to perform on stage in front of 20 million people on TV, and 150 thousand in concerts. For 15 minutes I got to be a rock star, the 15 minutes is great! It turns into Spinal Tap after 20 minutes.
I didn't want to get into acting. I was very happy doing MTV, it took up my time, I was content.
