Since the debut of Chris Rock’s brilliant new Netflix special, “Tamborine,” his publicity team has had to call a few critics and reporters who accidentally spelled it “Tambourine.”
They, OK, we got the name of the special wrong because “tambourine” is a much more common spelling than the one Rock uses, which drops the letter U.
The instrument, as you probably guessed from the special’s title, is an essential part of the main message Rock delivers during the show. We won’t spoil it, but it’s a lesson about relationships we should all probably remember.
So why the “Tamborine” spelling? Rock explained it in a recent Facebook Live post, in which he gave fans a walk-through of his house.
