When Eric Idle constructed a wacky spoof of The Beatles, dubbed The Rutles, he spawned a huge cult of eager worshipers who longed to hear more from Dirk (Idle), Nasty (Neil Innes), Stig (Ricky Fataar), and Barry (John Halsey). The hilarious 1978 mockumentary ALL YOU NEED IS CASH features guest appearances from Idle's former Monty Python castmates John Cleese & Michael Palin, plus Saturday Night Live stars Gilda Radner, Dan Akroyd, John Belushi & Bill Murray, alongside rockers Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, George Harrison & Paul Simon. In 2002 The Pre-Fab Four reunited with CAN't BUY ME LUNCH, toured America, and invited trusted interviewer Dirk McQuickly (Idle again) on the road with them. Of course we meet many of the artists whom The Rutles influenced along the way, including David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Garry Shandling, and even Salman Rushdie, as well as further capers with the band themselves.
