  • Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp - True Confessions

    Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp - True Confessions
    Oct 1 2025
    Gary Kemp, whose career highlights as a musician and actor include writing Spandau Ballet's seminal hit "True," tells us about about the time David Bowie almost made Gary's son late for a playdate; going on a bender with Duran Duran the night before the 1984 Band Aid recording session: and why he and his old mate, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, charted different musical paths even though they were fans of the same bands. In this short VIDEO, Gary muses on why Joe Elliott didn't laugh when they watched This Is Spinal Tap together. Might it have hit a little too close to home???

  • Actor Ed Begley Jr. - Surviving a Bizarre Gardening Accident

    Actor Ed Begley Jr. - Surviving a Bizarre Gardening Accident
    Sep 18 2025
    Just in time for Spinal Tap 2: Ed Begley Jr. is our very first TMEP Show guest who actually appeared in "This Is Spinal Tap." In Ed's memorable scene, he shows up as Spinal Tap's original drummer John “Stumpy" Pepys looking like Buddy Holly behind the kit -- instant classic. Begley tells us about the time Harry Nilsson surprised him with a dinner invitation at John and Yoko’s place at The Dakota; smoking a J with Charles Manson; and, of course, how filming a “test scene” that actually ended up getting use in the movie led to him being enshired in Spinal Tap lore. In this short VIDEO, Ed describes that homecooked meal with the Lennons.

    Enjoy an entire Quick Tap dedicated to the guy who wrote “Good Day Sunshine” because, well, it sounds like he spreads that wherever he goes - Beatles bassist Paul McCartney. Yes, that same Macca who is making a much talked about cameo appearance in the feature film, Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues - coming out on September 12th!!! You'll hear from host of the Bad Decisions podcast, Scott Nathan, about the time Nathan introduced a friend to Paul back in the '90s and everything went Helter Skelter (not really); former senior head of rock promotion at Columbia Records, Paul Rappaport, who tells us about the night he got a little help from his Beatle friend; and Gary Anthony Williams - the voice of Uncle Ruckus on The Boondocks - who saw Paul standing there at a script reading and was offered some delicious pita by the charming Liverpudlian himself. It sounds like everyone has got to get a little McCartney into their lives!
