Ouch!

At the height of my Beatles obsession, my sister and I rented All You Need Is Cash, a mockumentary about the Rutles (Dirk, Barry, Stig, and Nasty). It was quite enjoyable, and it held up when I saw it again a few years ago. (I actually enjoyed it more than This is Spinal Tap).

So I was obviously delighted to hear about a Rutles tribute band, of sorts, that's been playing in New York. A band playing onstage as the movie airs? Awesome! As the article says, the movie's more enjoyable if you know a lot of the details about the Beatles, but it's pretty fun even if some of it goes over your head.

Plus, it's from Monty Python alum. Definitely worth checking out.
