World of Weird Al Yankovic

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.

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

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?

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

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.
