Thinking About My 27TH Birthday
Posted: Sat May 13, 2017 8:50 pm
OK, I know this is going to sound like it should belong in the Introductions topic, but hear me out.
For those of you that don't know, I was born on July 4th, 1990 (yes, I've pretty much heard all the "Fourth of July" jokes by now). I first became introduced to Al's music around 1999, when the video for "The Saga Begins" and the "Weird Al Live! `99" was on heavy rotation on VH1, and it wasn't until "It's All About The Pentiums" when I instantly became hooked!
Ever since then, I've gotten to know all (well, most) of Al's work, as I got selections of his back catalogue and, ever since Mandatory Fun came out, I now own all 14 of Al's ALbums... I've even bought the last three albums on their official release date (Mandatory Fun and Alpocalypse and I can't remember if I got Straight Outta Lynwood on its release date; I might've gotten it in October 2006 when it had already been out for about a month)
As my birthday approaches (and as soon as I turned 26), I couldn't help thinking about possibly wondering what a 27th birthday would be like, considering we all know as Al fans that Al took on the role (more or less; lack of phrasing) of making the number 27 synonymous with his albums, songs and videos.
