IAFF mark II
From CaseyPedia
Spinal Tap's Shark Sandwich
As the Casey Serin saga continues to IAFF Mark II, spectators realize that it's all been done before:
- Spinal Tap Mark II: Rebirth of Tap in Stockton, California, after the departure of Nigel during the 1982 U.S. tour.[1]
Many have said in the past that Serin had jumped the shark. Whether true or not then, he now seems to be not so much jumping as he is circling a ramp attached to a short tether... circling and bobbling, circling and bobbling, much like a turd in a porcelain bowl, or perhaps like the shark fins depicted on the cover of Shark Sandwich.
Much like Serin's born-again blog, the revisionist Tap was not well-received by fans:
- After arriving to play at an amusement park where they are given second billing after a puppet show ("Puppet Show and Spinal Tap") they plan the show omitting all the Tufnel-composed tracks. [...] Faced with a dearth of material to perform the group is forced to launch "The new birth of Spinal Tap, Mark 2", with Smalls' fusion-esque, "Jazz Odyssey", which is roundly rejected by their already diminishing fan base.
- After that, it becomes apparent to the remaining members that Spinal Tap cannot continue as it has been, and [they] consider winding-up the band. St. Hubbins and Smalls reconsider "Saucy Jack", their long-abandoned idea for a musical based on Jack the Ripper.[2]
