Need a quick infusion of Spinal Tap Moments? Don’t miss Quick Taps - short episodes with short stories for short attention spans. In this episode filled with close encounters of the Bowie kind, Allen overuses David's song titles to set up moments when the Man Who Sold the World was at a grocery store during the LA riots; in a nightclub acting inappropriately; in another nightclub acting very appropriately; and at a bar in need of a friend. It’s our favorite alien at his most human.
