Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
A nice article in The Atlantic about Al's place in pop culture today, even calling him a prophet.

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
Wow awesome article!! I wish Al had gone through every single song in his catalog for that. He was already about halfway there. Can't believe new information surfaced today on the origins of Such A Groovy Guy of all songs...

Nice that Al mentions Stan Bush by name and doesn't just lump him in with the others on the album.

Important Al Interviews/reviews.
Wow! That is a really interesting article. It was great to see Al comment on such a wide range of his songs. There was a lot of information in there that I didn't know.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
Al should sit down and go through his entire catalogue giving back stories like this. I hear he has a several hundred mile road trip coming up

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
You know how somebody wrote a book giving all the details and backstories to every single Beatles song?
Somebody should sit down with Al and do that for every song.

Re: Important Al Interviews/reviews.
Well, he does have that coffee table book coming out... I'd love to hear an explanation of what he was going for on some more of those early originals.
