Any Weird Al fans out there?

[Don'tLiveonMoon]

I was just discussing with my brother all of the songs on WinMX and stuff that are attributed to Al but aren't his. I was saying that I hadn't heard many really crude songs from Al but I'd seen a lot of titles that looked really crude, and he said they weren't him. People just sort of assue nowadays that if it's a novelty song, it's him. I'd love to see him. He's been here a few times, so it's really dumb that I haven't. My brother just got "Running With Scissors," and I've been enjoying that a lot. Weird Al is such a genius...

Go see him! He's just terrific in concert. I've been lucky enough to see him a number of times--it gets even more fun if you can manage to get in line early enough for tickets close to the stage. It just takes on a whole different dimension when you're that close, because he does so much to interact with the crowd.

He's awsome.

I've been playing a lot of Weird Al lately. My daughter seems to enjoy him now, too! I did meet him in 1992 (after a show) and he was very kind.

Wow, I love his music! It's so neat! And super funny. My favorite song actually is the Star Wars song he did. I saw the music video for it a lot on Nick I believe. I think....not totally sure now, but it's a really funny song. Plus it was SO funny when he did a behind the music thing, or he was talking about it. He's never done drugs, never done anything really wrong, so he said it would be a very short behind the music if they ever did him. XD

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Oh yeah, he's great! I only have a few of his albums, and I've never really seen him on TV or anything, but after hearing so many good things about him, I'll have to check him out more. I think I'll start by going to that website that was just posted...
