Weird Al can't play the accordion

Seriously, this guy is making me so angry.  Screw the evidence, his wife knows this obscure fact that nobody has heard of outside of the Wikipedia Talk page!  Persistent little bugger he is, too.
Gawd, why are people that dumb?

I was standing at the edge of the stage for a show-- not more than 10-20 ft from Al, and I can say, he's not faking it, lol. He's playing the accordion.

Geez. I gave up on Wikipedia long ago.

It's so annoying when people come up with assertions with NO supporting evidence and then say, "Well, if it's not true, then prove it's not true!"

Presumably, even if Al said in an interview "No, my wrists are fine and I play my own accordion" somebody would come back with, "Well of course he has to say that for the sake of his career!"

What do they teach in schools these days? :rolleyes:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

Just makes you wonder what they will think of next.

"Al doesn't write his own parodies!!"

"So, Al, since you don't play the accordion and you don't write parodies, we're gonna just make you sing, okay?"

Wait, maybe he doesn't actually sing either? :P

All of us have been attending shows with a guy just standing there. Wow. None of us ever noticed. ;)

Most of what is on wikipedia is so incorrect as to be laughable. I don't even bother with that website.

:rolleyes: And I'm sure his wife is the ultimate Al authority. Give me a break.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.
