That is very ok. And if someone can't figure out how to do the fancy link, just the URL is ok too.

Obviously stuck somewhere in a 1998 timewarp, the August 5, 2003 issue of the tabloid "The Star" reports that Weird Al Yankovich (*ahem*) no longer wears his trademark glasses because he had LASIK surgery.

I understand in an issue to be printed sometime in 2008 they're gonna report he also shaved his trademark mustache.

(Read all about it in the weekly... oh, sorry!)

Not a magazine persay, but this is close enough...

In today's Charlotte Observer they had an article about him. A few things were um... completely wrong.

First, they put 'Weird Al' and then Weird Al Yankovic with incorrect quotes, but that is permissible.

Second, they called "Angry White Boy Polka" a medley of EMO songs. EMO?! None of those songs are emo!

Third, and LARGEST mistake was they said the at Carowinds was on SATURDAY, which it is on SUNDAY. that can mess people up seriously.

Oh, and he (or she, the writer's name was Jamie) wrote "han't" as well.

One informative thing was that they asked Al about what he thought when the Ebay commercials (parodising Sinatra's "My Way") came out.

Everything else was old news.

But that wrong concert day, that's a travesty.

And what'd he think of the eBay commercials?

Sorry, just found it online.

It doesn't have the track listing where the writer calls AWBP emo songs or the pic caption where it says "han't".

It also says he will be making fun of Madonna at the show.

The thing you saw was the wrong thing, but it's still a good point. I put it back up here.
