this is spinal tap

When you first read about David Williams, his story seems fake, like some massive This Is Spinal Tap or Joaquin Phoenix put-on.

It’s straight out of VH1’s Behind The Music: he dabbled in a few Denton-area post-punk bands, then moved to L.A. and helped produce a bonafide hip-hop classic, and then moved back to Austin with a nasty drug habit that he’s since kicked.
