World of Weird Al Yankovic

WBUL...mmm....Al unbuttoning his shirt... :9~

*ahem*

I know the thing I like best about Al is that he is such a nice, sweet man who cares about his fans. How many artist actually remember their fans names? He's a humble person too.

Plus, as my dad would probably mention and it's one of the initial things I thought when I first became a fan. He's a great role model. How can parents say no to a kid liking an artist who graduated as valedictorian and a has a degree in architecture?

Not to mention, his music is just something that makes me a lot happier.

I don't like how this has turned into another 'Drooling Over Al' topic. Come on, don't you gals like the music too?

You must be new here.

They do this to 89% of the threads on the forum.

Yeah, I know; I'd just think with those other topics that people would use this one to compliment his music. But if that's what they like.

Well, I was very sincere with what I said, and not once did I mention his looks. He is very nice looking, and it's a nice bonus, but my initial post did say what I like best about him.

... as did mine. So we've got personality. talent and looks -- triple threat.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks, El. I will add that what I initially said was based on my first encounter with Al. He couldn't have made a better impression if he tried. Really a very sweet man.

I also said what I liked most was his genuine appreciation of his fans and how he goes out of his way to let us know that but I can discuss the music too!

What I love about Al's music is that it is so creative and covers a wide-range of styles/genres. He can do everything from pop, to alternative, to hip-hop, to country, and of course, he plays a mean polka! To me, this makes him more talented than other muscians who can only write, sing, and/or play a certain style of music. He's very underrated as a muscian, IMO, maybe because some people have a dismissive attitude towards the art of writing parodies and comedic songs. Personally, I think he's a genius and I'm in awe of his talents.

And to get back to the drooling just for a moment--thanks for the WBUL pic, MarlinsGirl! I actually went to the Mothership (I'm doing my best to learn the lingo) and checked out a few pics. Didn't see a single one from any of his VA shows so now I most definitely need to get some shots to submit when I go see him in concert again!

Oh Well Well Well, don't you understand? What they like best about Al is his good looks!

In defense of the Al-Gals, this thread is called "What I Like Best About Al...". It's not called "What I Like Best About Al's Music". Some of the gals like Al's looks the best. I don't have a problem with that.
