Dr. D-- that would be the MA musicologist who has always recognized the value of the polemical allusion and pataphysics and whatnot of Mr. Yankovic, no?weird_el @ April 21, 2009 02:36 pm wrote: I heard an old recording of To Anachreon... once on Dr D.

"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I also enjoyed the essay, but agree with everyone else that it would be improved somewhat by being put into less arcane terminology. Direct is best.TMBJon @ April 21, 2009 04:33 am wrote: I agree that it was written with overly-academic speech, but the core of what the article was saying - that Weird Al is in essence a post-modern artist - feeds into the very reasons why I first got into Al, and why I still listen to him to this day. Obviously, I didn't have a clue what post-modernism or irony were when I was nine years old, but the concepts therein I've always found humorous.
There's nothing much there I haven't said or thought before myself I think we are all agreed this is a fan. I think its cool:)
