Here's a link to the interview with Cowhead from 102.5 The Bone from 4/13/13, before the concert:

While the page itself is clean, some of the links from that page are NSFW, so be warned. There's not much new info in the interview, but a few funny anecdotes, including a bit from the DJ about UHF.

There was a live audience present for the interview- about 20-30 people, including me. Afterwards, we all got to form a line for pictures. The lady behind me in line, who works for the station, heard me asking Cowhead if there were any more free tickets available, and offered me her pair! Yea for free tickets! After our picture was taken, we were then shepherded into a line for autographs (I got Alpocalypse and the Amish Paradise CD single signed).

Not much happened afterwards that I am aware of. While making calls to see who would share the ticket, I saw Al and an older lady (handler? manager?) get into a rented white Mercedes SUV and drive off. My concert buddy that night, incidentally, is a guy I know to be a fan, but had never seen Al live, so I was more than happy to help him out.

Me and Al!

Not a manager unless Jay Levey has made some MAJOR lifestyle changes. My guess, from what I remember from Al's old tour riders, is that she was probably somebody supplied by the management at Ruth Eckerd Hall, as a kind of local guide.

Yeah, there was not really any new ground broken in that interview, but it's the first lengthy footage I've seen of Al since his op, and he looks great. :)
