World of Weird Al Yankovic

I saw some tweets about this event in Al's feed, and a few pics, so I thought I'd search for more info. Here is a link to some video from an event called Adobe Max 2014, where there were several guest speakers. Al is introduced at about 50:30.

He seemed kinda uncomfortable talking about the whole record label lawsuit thing, but I guess he can say whatever the heck he wants now because he is a free man!!!

Any other news/info/anecdotes/highlights/etc from this event?

None that I've seen, Jon. Like I said, people were talking about it on twitter. I was just happy I found the video.

I'm also happy you did - and shared a link with us - thanks

Your quote made me realize I typed "just" twice. Now edited. My pleasure as far as the video.

Even at this event he's introduced as "Yanko-VICH." Oy.

Yes, that was irritating. At least the interviewer got it right when Al was finished speaking.

I just remembered Al misspelled a Lithuanian last name in one of his tweets earlier this year (he wrote "Sudekis" instead of "Sudeikis"). I found that very ironic

Haha, found the tweet. A few people did correct him, too. Others spelled "Sudeikis" wrong, following Al's lead. Still, people should know how to say Al's last name, as well as spell it by now.
