I swear, doesn't look like Jools Holland, but in the USA, can't get away from him and LATER on Palladia, plays his show constantly, and supposedly been on for decades now. I don't know THIS show being a USA media only guy, but Jools had caught my attention for his appearances with the legendary David Gilmour

Now I just can't remember I read or heard Queen's Brian May put together the English Metal Band parody in a response to the USA spawned Spinal Tap, where a Brit (who played their manager) helped co pen the script. Again, as I recall, I'm just wondering about more info, and why they didn't do more comic music, as Spinal Tap did, and their fan base ARE a rabid bunch, we love it!
