Christopher Guest shares the real-life inspiration for Spinal Tap
Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Christopher Guest was at The A.V. Club’s comedy festival earlier this month to take part in The Modern School Of Film live-event series. Toward the end of the event, a curious audience member wanted to know if any of Guest’s previous work was autobiographical. Guest was happy to oblige and told the story of the real-life hotel lobby encounter that inspired the fictional band Spinal Tap.
