*bump*

Al claims that there is little difference between his on- and offstage personas. " 'Weird Al' is not a character that I put on, per se; it's not like the difference between Pee Wee Herman and Paul Rubens. I like to use the metaphorical volume know; I kind of crank it up when I need to, and leave it at low when I don't."

I found that in an interview (thanks Jess!)
Stolen. Plundered. Purloined. Ha,ha. Loins.

He was probably tired. Also I am sure he likes to be called "Al" and not "Weird" He is a normal guy. I don't think at the end of the day that Alice Cooper is Alice Cooper. Hes Vincent! I know weird right? "Weird Al" is just a nick name.

Judging by what he said in his cameo on that Richard Cheese album, I'm guessing you're right. :ph34r:

Actually, Alice Cooper has legally been Alice Cooper since 1973. But yeah, Al is not weird except when performing, and "Al" is the right name to call him. And even Alice Cooper offstage is a normal guy who loves his wife and likes to play golf. :P
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Um, I don't understand why you're still insisting on calling me scary, Stephen. Btw, I never got a chance to thank him in person for putting me in his top 24.

I don't know. I will say a few people have sent me messages on myspace saying they hate me because I'm on Al's top friends list. I think that's scary.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

MAbye its more like

"Oh I just HATE you!" as in hate with envy or something, and it just came across odd because its computer speak, and its hard to tell when people are joking...

Sounds less creepy that way...
Oh snap!
