Well, let's hope so. Like I said, the Paramount Parks have been good to Al on the last couple of tours, so there would be some parts of the country that would be without a concert otherwise.

The parks are going to retain the Nicktoons stuff, so I guess that's a good sign. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Here's a conversation starter to get you pumped on the prospect of an upcoming tour... In past tours, Al has revived a few songs that he hadn't played in ages such as Dare To Be Stupid and Dog Eat Dog. What songs would you like to see revived that Al hasn't played in, say, the last ten years or so?
And in addition, what would you like to see Al play from his more recent releases that he hasn't played live previously (e.g. when Al played "Horoscope" during the PH tour).

It's been my choice for the past four years -- UHF
I mentioned it to Al at ALCON.
When I went to see Al at the OC Fair I heard the band soundcheck it before the first show.

What would you want to see in terms of costuming for UHF? It'd be pretty hard to pull off all the original artists from the video!

Al could walk on stage looking like he had a fight with the costume closet....George Micheal's jeans, Prince's shirt/jacket, Randy Newman's hair, etc

The song just rocks. It doesn't need costume changes. I think it would be a great show opener.

An older song that I'd love to see live is "Airline Amy". I think he'd do a great job with that live.

As for a song off of more recent releases, "Why Does This Always Happen to Me?" would be great.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Older song- Gotta Boogie...for the 6-year old in me....

Al: "Do YOU wanna boogie?"

Us: Nooooooooo!

Newer? uhhhhhh I'm So Sick of You... not THAT new, but....
