He who's tired of Weird Al is tired of life.

On VH1 they have shows where they talk about news that happen to stars, but I think its for tabloid news only. They could make an exception for Al though.

He really needs another biography or something because so much has happened since he was on Behind the Music, both in his personal life and in his career.

I agreee that it would be nice to see an updated biography, whether it was a new book or an updated version of The Compleat Al or "Behind the Music". I really like the idea of Al writing an autobiography, but something tells me he'll probably wait until after he retires to write something like that.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

ya something new should be done since he has such a diverse age base. Younger fans missed out on a whole lot. I became a fan just in time to see the BTM but a lot has changed in about 8 years and he would probably have plenty of new fans that missed out on a ton and want to know more about him

I wonder what celebrities have the most biographies (written and visual) on them. I wonder what the average number of biographies is for someone who has been active in show buisness as long as Al has.

I know that there are quite a few biographies on Bob Hope and Jim Henson. I think Walt Disney also has quite a few biographies.

He really should have, you know, one. Most celebs have them periodically. I know I would buy it. But, it's all for the will of the author, right? Maybe one of us crazy fans can pursue it?

I'm pretty sure the most biographies award goes to Marilyn Monroe and Elvis (Presley, not Rossi)

I once read a Jay Leno biography and did a report on that. I'd love to see a biography like Jay's (I think that's the only biography I've read lol) which covered a lot and was interesting, and not just about his "work". I would love to sit and read a book about Al.

I would really like to see Al write a serious autobiography. Or Bermuda could put his 25 years of archiving to another use and write a book.

That would be cool, but I don't think it's been done and it's probably too personal for a guy like Al.
