As much as I'd like to vote and help Al out, I don't exactly have $1,000.

And even if I did, I'd probably spend it on something else...

If I had $1000 I'd spend it on some new clogs, tutu's, and a brand skpaking new accordion!

If I had $1000, I'd spend some of it, but put most of it in the bank.

That was a really surreal moment, seeing a post by someone named "Leonard Cohen" in the Songwriters Hall of Fame topic. :blink:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

:huh:

He hasn't?! Zappa is one of the great song writers of all time. He should have been inducted a long time ago.

I called the Songwriters Hall Of Fame and asked them if Weird Al Yankovic qualifies and the person who responded, April Anderson, who is in charge of media relations and press releases (the coordinator) says....

I doubt it!

Then I said, but the lyrics are his.

Then she said, um...no they're not!
