BRITMETAL: A Big Ol' Hairy Spider

Boris the spider is dead, legs up, gone to that great Bug Motel in the sky whence it shall never check out. Still, John Entwistle, its owner, can console himself that it lived to a ripe old age for an Arachnid in the U.K., and managed to inspire a Sex Pistols song as well as a Who number, which is more than most pet tarantulas have done.
