Stig, was of course, far from dead. But not, in fact, far from Esher. He’d fallen in bed with Gertrude Strange, a large-breasted, biologically acommodating American girl, whose father had invented the limpet mine. When they met, it was lust at first sight. - View Quote Details on Stig, was of course, far from dead. But not, in…
It’s significant that their first major flop, the “Tragical History Tour”, immediately followed the loss of Leggy. It was not the strongest idea for a Rutles film: Four Oxford history professors on a hitch-hiking tour of teashops in the Rutland area, and it was slammed mercilessly by the press. - View Quote Details on It’s significant that their first major flop, the “Tragical History…
It was to this small backroom, when Nasty, Dirk, Stig, Barry and Leppo came to relax, when they weren’t upstairs, entertaining the other rats dining in the other Rat Keller. Here, they had bed and breakfast. There’s the bed. The breakfast, of course, long since gone. Rodently chewed, mouse-masticated, in a word: eaten by rats. - View Quote Details on It was to this small backroom, when Nasty, Dirk, Stig,…
Stig, meanwhile, had hidden in the background so much, that in 1969, a rumour went around that he was dead. He was supposed to have been killed in a flash fire at a waterbed shop, and replaced by a plastic and wax replica from Madame Tussaud’s. Several so-called “facts” helped the emergence of this rumour; One: he never said anything publicly. Even as “the Quiet One”, he hadn’t said a word since 1966. Two: on the cover of their latest album, “Shabby Road”, he is wearing no trousers, an Italian way of indicating death. Three: Nasty, supposedly sings “I buried Stig” on “I Am the Waitress”. In fact, he sings “E burres stigano”, which is very bad Spanish for “Have you a water buffalo?”. Four: On the cover of the “Sgt. Rutter” album, Stig is leaning in the exactly same position of a dying Yeti from the Rutland Book of the Dead. Five: If you sing the title of “Sgt. Rutter’s Only Darts Club Band” backwards, it’s supposed to sound very like “Stig has been dead for ages, honestly.”. In fact, it sounds uncannily like “Dnab Bulc Strad Ylno srettur Sgt”. - View Quote Details on Stig, meanwhile, had hidden in the background so much, that…
I’m standing in the world’s naughtiest street. The notorious Reeperbahn, Hamburg. For four hungry working class lads, there are worse places than prison. And the Rat Keller, Hamburg, is one of them. This is where they found themselves, far from home, and far from talented. Inside here, is where they actually played. Come with me now, inside, or as the Germans say: “Mit mir gekommen”, inside. - View Quote Details on I’m standing in the world’s naughtiest street. The notorious Reeperbahn,…
In the midst of all this public bickering, “Let It Rot” was released as a film, an album and a lawsuit. In 1970, Dirk sued Stig, Nasty and Barry. Barry sued Dirk, Nasty and Stig. Nasty sued Barry, Dirk and Stig, and Stig sued himself, accidentally. It was the beginning of a golden era for lawyers. But for the Rutles, live on a London rooftop, it was the beginning of the end. - View Quote Details on In the midst of all this public bickering, “Let It…

Incidentally, “Rat Keller” means, literally in german, “Cellar of rats”. That’s not “Seller of rats”, a seller of rats, a person who sells rats for a living to another man as it were, of course not.
