Pre-Fab Four: Arsenal Nil

They said it couldn’t be done. They were right. They said you can’t mount a Production in three weeks. They were right. They said nobody will want to come to a show called Rutlemania! Well maybe. We shall see. We have a light show. Well OK a lava lamp. We have a bubble machine. Well OK it’s tiny, but it has real bubbles. We have a ton of interactive video because I am easily bored and I like to keep my boredom threshold ahead of any audience. We have dancing girls. Well OK only two but jolly cute they are too. And we have real live Rutles music played and sung by the terribly good Fab Four. So what can possibly go right?

We all remember what we were doing when we first heard the Rutles right? Well obviously we were listening to the Rutles. Duh. Thirty years ago today – well not today but thirty years ago tomorrow, well depends when you’re reading this but anyway about thirty years ago NBC’s All You Need is Cash – The Story of the Rutles came 76th in the US weekly TV ratings. I was ecstatic. The previous week I had been nowhere. And who nowadays watches the episode of Charlie’s Angels that came 1st? Nobody that’s who. And who watches The Rutles today? At least eight people in Iowa.
