Didn't someone already remix one of Al's songs as a Gregorian Chant?

Well, yeah, at every other concert, they substitute the Gregorian Chant in the middle of Yoda.

You didn't know about Yoda's long-lost identical twin brother Gregor?
Of course, since they're identical twins, the chants are also identical.
Hope this helps.

I believe Al already mentioned doing Gregorian chants in an interview, back when they were the big thing 10 years ago.

My mom says you should ask Al about how he constantly moves his hands when he talks... Does he do it on purpose, is it a nervous habit or something he always does.


My mom is weird :blink:
Oh snap!

Its such a great opportunity to find out interesting things. I would definitely ask stuff mainly about his view of the world and career; whether he feels that it would be easier or more difficult for a comedy music artiste to break through nowadays compared to his timely emergence alongside MTV.

I'd wanna know how he keeps on top of all the new trends, and what music he puts on just to relax at the end of the day

Kind of a geek question, but PLEASE ask why in God's name he aligned himself with this particular TV special:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s37P05YgU4I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQn3O7Y-4HM

Ever since I first saw these clips from that special (about nine years ago) I've been incessantly wondering WHY, in the middle of a career where he's either made fun of religion (Amish, Rabbi) or respectfully avoided the whole hornet's nest, he suddenly appeared in such an overtly Christian piece of sappy inspira-tainment.

And please, direct him towards my MST3K-esque annotated clips.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn...that's alright because I like the way it hurts...

a. He is actually a Christian... like *a lot* of his fans
b. Makes great business sense to not turn down invitations to work... especially if it could bring in a whole new raft of fans you might not have otherwise reached.

OK so it's cheesy, but as he says himself, he's not Bob Dylan.. he's not all that bothered about looking cool, and there are always bills to be paid. Work is work
Fair play for the work ethic.. its a bit of cheesy fun thats all.

Personally I ADORE the glorious political incorrectness of it. It's suitably weird :D

There's really no ridicule of religion itself in either AP or PFFAR. The rabbi is actually described as a conscientious, well-liked guy.
