Hey here's a question: During the Grammies when the nominees are announced, don't they usually show a video clip also? I wonder what Al will use since there's no Poodle Hat video?

Maybe the ALTV bit where he's listening to CP and reading the paper?

The question is though, is Poodle Hat still "fresh" enough to get said nomination sales boost? We shall see in the next couple weeks....

Oh but of course a win would blow it wide open :biggrin:

Well, I don't really remember WAY getting that much of any sales boost when it won comedy album of the year...

That's because it never won. Al's 2 Grammy wins are for Eat It (Best Comedy Recording -- 1984) and Fat (Best concept video -- 1988)

what about bob....AWBP might confuse people. I think they would go for something that actually had Al in the video, or maybe just video of Al performing CP

Yeah, I guess Bob would work. I wonder if they would use on old video clip like Fat ?

I tried asking one of the workers there, and his reply was:

Did anyone else find humor in the statement "There aren't too many Virgin's around here" or is my brain just in the gutter?

I know what was meant by the statement, but it just struck me as funny. Anyway, they sell Al's stuff a lot around here. Borders, HMV, Suncoast Movies, and FYE have all been known to sell Al's merchandise. I never really have a problem finding what I want.

I don't think there are any Virgins in Upstate NY. I have to go to Times Square NYC to find one

Back to topic -- Al stuff is very easy to find at Best Buys and FYEs
