Life wouldn't be complete without a little Monty Python—the killer rabbit scene would snap anyone out of even the foulest of moods. Musical theater brings the Holy Grail to life in Spamalot, now in its San Francisco run at the Golden Gate Theatre. Make time to get in on the action as King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table embark on their hilarious quest.
Check out our interview with Eric Idle, one of Monty Python's founding members.
Confession: When presented with the opportunity to interview Eric Idle for this page, I drew a blank on his name. I blame it on being an American who wasn’t old enough to understand the wry humor of the beloved British comedy troupe Monty Python (of which Idle is a founding member) during its 1970s heyday. I had heard the 65-year-old’s famous single, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” many times—or rather the remakes by Green Day and Art Garfunkel—but never recognized it as the theme song for the classic Monty Python reel, Life of Brian.
