We could not be more thrilled this week to be joined by drummer Valerie Franco aka Didi Crockett from Spinal Tap who can be seen in the new film SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES! We talk to Valerie about her early days of listening to Rush, what it was like asking her very kind neighbors if it was ok to practice her drums after school and what it was like playing with a ridiculously large drum kit as a member of Spinal Tap. We also get into Valerie's youth and her time visiting the Warped Tour, covering pop-punk artists like Green Day and being inspired by Travis Barker's playing. Plus we discuss the very controversial rule about never wearing a band's T-shirt to their own show. Is this a real rule of just one that Jonah thought was universal???? Finally, in an exciting round of CHANGE DOT DORK we debate the merits of a Rush Sirius station, if Keanu Reeves should be in an upcoming Star Wars movie and should the band Scum Dumpster play the next Warped Tour? You'll have to listen to this amazing episode to find out!!!
