Christopher Guest, star of This Is Spinal Tap and master of the mockumentary, will receive an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music on Friday.

Berklee students will be playing some of Guest's biggest hits, ranging from the Spinal Tap gems to cuts that appeared in Waiting for Guffman and his other comedies.

But will he arrive as himself or as Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel? Or as a New Ager? As Jed Gottlieb's interview with Guest shows, New Age is apparently Guest's new thing--and he's playing it without irony.

To whet your appetite, here's the famous "11" scene from This Is Spinal Tap:
