If you know the movie “This Is Spinal Tap,” you will certainly recall the moment Spinal Tap bassist Derek Smalls describes himself as the band conduit, "David and Nigel are like poets, you know, like Shelley or Byron, or people like that. The two totally distinct types of visionaries, it’s like fire and ice, and I feel my role in the band is to be kind of the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.” Well, on today’s Quick Tap, our guests tell us about the times they left puddles of themselves for a higher purpose. Songwriter Freedy Johnston introduces Lou Reed and Joey Ramone; author and rapscallion Scott Nathan recounts the time he connected Leonardo DiCaprio to a Martin Scorsese flick; and The Pulsars Dave Trumfio reminisces about how he got a rise out of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher with rock legend Cynthia Plaster Caster.
