Thread Name: Folk Scare Film by Christopher Guest
Subject: RE: Folk Scare Film by Christopher Guest
The folk group had a debut on Saturday Night Live back when Shearer and Guest were regulars, and do a great impression of the that certain type of early 60s goateed-and-button-down-collar warbling prigs who occupied the rungs beneath the Weavers, New Christy Minstrels and Kingston Trio. Should be hilarious.

My favorite scene in Spinal Tap? The impromptu scene when the boys visit Graceland and Nigel solemnly begins to sing Heartbreak Hotel at the King's grave. The others chime in and they are immediately trying to work out the harmonies. The film was highly improvised and spontaneous and I loved it.
