Al's Pals

[TMBJon]

Alright, so all we need now is to get one of the most famous, influential rock stars of all time to make a dedicated and sincere pitch to the Rock Hall committee on behalf of Weird Al. Should be easy!

Well Bruce Springsteen still owes Al 5 bucks. Maybe he can repay Al by giving a push

I'm not sure if he qualifies as an Al Pal but there's no way Al wasn't influenced by Frank Zappa's buddy, the legendary Captain Beefheart, who died today.

[minnick27]

Aww damn that sucks. I know he's been sick for quite some time now, but damn. Gonna have to bust out the beefhart for work tomorrow

[FredHuggins]

Al directly referenced Captain Beefheart at least once - in his Home Movies on Poodle Hat, at 5:26 he referenced Beefheart's "The Blimp."

RIP.

Has anyone else noticed how Victoria Jackson's comment "I love it when he makes fun of rock 'n' roll people" from Behind The Music makes a lot more sense now?

[HappyGilmore]

Dunno if it qualifies as an Al's Pal, but I saw Gilbert Gottfried and he made some references to Billy Barty.

[WeirdDana27]

oh, Billy Barty....how he is missed! our beloved Noodles "McInTOSH...at your service!"

Met Gilbert after the, mentioned I liked him on Als show. He was like, 'not many in my audience know about that.'

After the what? I was really counting on a finished sentence here.
