Laughing at the Summer Solstice: Stonehenge by Spinal Tap

In ancient times,
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people, the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
Spinal Tap, Stonehenge

I saw a news report about the summer solstice gathering at Stonehenge, as people watched the rising sun shining through the ancient monument.

It is a powerful sight. And so funny. Funny because of the movie Spinal Tap. In it, the band is playing smaller venues to smaller crowds. They devised a spectacular production for their song Stonehenge (video clip below). It goes wrong.

From first viewing of the movie, I cannot see or hear about Stonehenge without thinking about the scene and the song. And laughing a lot.

We need to laugh. Always but especially now. Don’t forget to laugh. Happy summer.
