Rushed to the local hospital for a spinal tap—every bit as horrible as you may imagine, but the one sure means of diagnosis then—and throwing up in the back of the family station wagon on the way to the polio-specializing Sister Kenny Institute, in Minneapolis.

It didn't make it any easier to bend over for the spinal tap, lay down on the table and spread my arms out crucifixion style while a nurse hooked up fluids, inserted a catheter, and prepped my abdomen for a six-inch incision that would become the doorway between then and now.

Emerging from the late 80s/early 90s, The Simpsons has always shown a healthy respect for metal (there's a classic scene where Satan urges Bart to keep listening to it, and Spinal Tap are one of the show's earliest guest stars, and of course the general existence of Otto as a character).

Even though every prenatal test indicated that Claire would be healthy, it became clear the moment she was born that something wasn't quite right: Before she was a week old, she had an MRI, a spinal tap, x-rays, ultrasounds and too many IVs to count, including a particularly bloody one inserted directly into her head.

There is plenty—and I mean plenty—of room in metal for cheesy, sweaty live shows (it's kind of our thing), but Gaga's crucial error was that she just couldn't let go of her theater kid instincts, and felt compelled to ham it up like she was playing the lead in a community theater production of Spinal Tap.

But what's abundantly clear from this latest move -- not to mention the Spinal Tap drummer-level of turnover in the position -- is that Trump views himself not only as the star of this greatest of reality shows (as he conceives of the presidency) but also as the only person who can truly produce a show of this magnitude.

A notorious iconoclast and legendary no-wave pioneer, Lunch is back living in New York City again after a multi-year stint in Europe, and she's working with a new generation of punks on Venus Flytrap, a digital short in the vein of This Is Spinal Tap and The Mighty Boosh that challenges the record industry's patriarchy and aims to provide a "queer-centric experience" for viewers.

One would think that the tale of a group of Hollywood actors in the 1980s—actors who starred in some of the decade's biggest films, such as Star Wars, Blade Runner, Beetlejuice, This is Spinal Tap, Willow and Weird Science —who were also part of a nationwide touring basketball team that played everywhere from L.A Lakers games to the Playboy Mansion, would by now be a story cemented in pop culture history.

The magnum opus of musical-comedy stalwarts the Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer), Popstar is a proudly goofy riff on Spinal Tap, applying the mockumentary format to the rise-and-fall-and-fall-some-more fame narrative of Conner 20163 Real (Samberg), whose floundering solo career forces him to reckon with his legacy as a former member of the defunct '90s rap group the Style Boyz (whose other members included include Taccone's Owen and Schaffer's Lawrence).
