Rock and Roll StoriesMy personal Spinal Tap moment came when we got locked into the Festival Hall in London by accident. We ended up wandering the maze of backstage corridors carrying a three foot high piece of cheese looking for the one door that would lead us to salvation.
What goes on tour may stay on tour, but B3ta doesn't count. Tell us everything.

"Rock and Roll": spirit of rather than men with guitarsMy Dad's friend back in the early 70s. School trip to West Berlin. The class was an all boys catholic school and they were 16.
Height of the cold war.
Back when school trips were better, as in, no one was likely to get sued. The teachers all went down the pub and so naturally did the lads.
Half cut and in downtown Berlin, staggering back to their hotel, they pass the East German Embassy. There is barbed wire and there is guards. Officially, this is a little bit of East Germany in the West, complete with Stasi obs and everything.
They think it would be funny to climb the top of the building when the guards aren't looking and steal their flag. They do. Minor international incident.
Assembly two weeks later in Leeds 9...
the head teacher stands up in front of the school and asks,
"Whoever stole the east german flag from their embassy in Berlin, could you please return it."
ROCK and ROLL!!!!!!!
