Went to see Weird Al Yancovic in concert! Very Happy

I was surprised that he did so many older songs, including one I hadn't personally seen performed (and probably hadn't been live since the 80s). The Al concerts generally sport a young audience overall -- parents who are fans that bring their kids/teenagers -- but even more surprising to me is the number of these young'uns who actually know the lyrics to his old material. It reminds me of the sad fact that I have all his old material on vinyl and not CD Sad

Just thought I'd share, since I had a great time and others may be intersted in hearing about it. Wink

Later this month we're going to see Devo in NYC, so I may be posting a report on that experience as well. Very Happy

Here's some fan-created Flash for the song "Angry White Guy Polka" -- enjoy. Smile

AYB is jealous. He's been a fan of Wierd Al's since the 80's.

AYB wishes he could see Wierd Al in concert

Torturing a dog or a cat for sport is not disgusting because animals have rights, it is repugnant because human beings have obligations. If animals look to us as gods, and we in turn torture them, have we not willingly made ourselves into devils? -Johan Goldberg http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2003852165_goldberg27.html

You are a strange creature, Jeremy. *

I think "It's all about the Pentiums" should be the official theme song of our July trip to OptiLand.
