Don't you hate it when a reporter gets the details (like names that are easily found on the internet) wrong?

Pubic hair? Ewww... That's not pubic hair, it's public hair (at least while Al's performing)... and I wouldn't mind being wrapped in it myself. :S

Who's Jeff? I thought Richard Bennett was our favorite drummer's only brother... :huh:

And I'm pretty sure that incarceration and incarnation are not the same thing... :rolleyes:

When the page loaded, it had that yellow-triangle note at the bottom:

Well, yeah, but how'd they know?

But anyway, he stayed for the whole show and said good things about Al and the band (even that Jeff guy), so I'll take it with thanks.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I seen Weird Al at the St. Charles Family Arena. Truly amazing; the best concert I've been to (the only, but still).

I took pics and video.

He was so cool. You can tell he loves what he does.

Sadly I didn't get to meet Al. Hopefully he'll look us up in Missouri again.

i was there. it was so great. the crowd was so into weird al. i seen him before in six flags, springfield, il, the pageant. this is was so amazing. plus i got to see him close up. i had floor seats. i never forget these two girls/women. i say they were ages about 18-21 seating at end of the row. there was so in weird al. when he walked up to them i thought they were going to faint.
i like how they had it setup. the stage was just above eye level. it was somehting i would never forget. it was an amazing night even though it took an hour to get there..

Okay, consider the slack cut. It's nice to see little things like that actually get fixed. :)
