World of Weird Al Yankovic

hehe, yeah, I guess that wouldn't be so bad. Just a little reasoning here: maybe, since Al is usually showered and fresh for M & G's, he's thinking "Well, I really didn't wear that shirt for very long. I like it. I'll wear it again tomorrow." hehe! Or not.

There was a weird moment in SLN and I couldn't figure out at the time what it was. But when I was on the way home, I listened to the song and figured out what it was.

He sang

Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Well we don't sound like Madonna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna

What caught my attention was that he sang the first Nirvana kind of odd, I wasn't sure exactly what he said. I think he got to that point and realized he'd gotten them out of order then had to scramble to fix it.

Poor Al. just one more thing to go wrong.

And another stray memory... when he took off running across the stage with the mic, I was really scared he was going to tumble off the edge. He got awfully close.

Aww, poor Al. All those techie problems, plus he got the words to SLN all jumbled up. I'm glad you told him you enjoyed the show, even with all the techie problems.

Oh great, now someone's gonna go to Bubble Gum Alley, locate the picture of Al, and steal the piece of gum I chewed and stuck to the picture, take my teeth imprints and use it to fashion a pair of fake dentures, in which they will use to take a bite out of the giant Cheeto in Algona, Iowa, upsetting the townsfolk, causing them to hunt me down and prosecute me to the fullest extent of the law, where I'll end up getting 30 consecutive life sentences without chance of parole, and have to share a jail cell with Michael Jackson!! Thanks a lot scottidog!!!

Paranoid much? Who me?

Dave

To quote Al: "That's paranoia, there."

and here I thought I had no life.

well, at least I don't live in Iowa

Just to clarify, that giant Cheeto is in Algona, Iowa, not Algonac, MI.

We're a small town, but we don't get crazy about a giant piece of snack food!

Yes I know. Notice the the Throw word in quotations. But he did grasp the kids are tight.

Oh........ okay......

He did it anyway. He was totally undeservedly lucky to have got it back at all (if that was you Ed, you were nicer to him than he deserved) AND gotten it signed.

Amen, Helen. He was very lucky. I love the way Al handled it too. I personally thought the kid was handing Al a song suggestion!

I loved that part too! Ahhh memories.......

OE wrote: Awwww.... Vikki wrote the inscription on the bubblegum pic and I gave it to Al and you get to enjoy the reaction?  

At least it was someone from WOWAY so that they could tell you. I was wondering why you were leaving so fast....... oh well.

That's the one. I'll never forget how AL looked at it, with such joy and compassion. Then he slid it under his seat and looked at me.

Al's assets were on a picture I took? EEeeeeeEEEEeeee!!! *Faints*

Ok, I'm better now.
