I've watched it about 5 times now (since I downloaded it) and it gets better every time...he does look younger, and I really don't understand his secret...something about accordians and vegan-ism?
Anyone who hasn't seen this, watch it. It's such a treat!

It's probably a combination of several things: he got lucky when he dipped into the gene pool (as far as we can tell, Nick Yankovic was healthy, active and cheerful-spirited until he died), he's steered clear of the ever-popular illegal substances, he has a solid & supportive social network (fancy way of saying he's well-loved by family and friends, and always has been), he eats his vegetables, and he doesn't stand still long enough to rust.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.
I'm going to have to wait until this weekend when I can devote the required 6-7 hours to download via dial-up.
From what I have seen, it is wonderful. The way Al just sort of melts over the back of the chair when he's first introduced by Tom. And I have to see if Al ever had to call out the BIG GUNS (aka Jay Levey) in case Tom gave Al any problems. That would sure be a sight to see: Jay vs. Tom Green on crutches

Oh, OE, getting all logical up in my grill...
In all honesty, you are completely right. People tend to forget how beneficial positivity and love from family/friends can be to your health.

It would be pretty interesting to see Jay go all Gandhi on Tom Green's backside.

I think that since Al lost the glasses and bangs and whatever else he did he looks a lot younger. He doesnt look anywhere near 47 or (gulp) 50 its hard to believe that when i'm 20 he will be 50

Well, by popular demand (my husband), he wants me to see if anyone has a copy of this on DVD, or if there is a faster way to download it. I've been downloading since a little before 11:00, and it's now 6:11 and it's not even halfway done.
