It was just so sweet, I had to share it. I love how the interviewer lady is just laughing at the end. Al is like a big, lovable puppy. :)

Thanks so much for posting that, wayword. That was really cute!
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Yeah. :inlove:

Danny Brant was really rocking out during the Fat jam too. Think he's just a little more extroverted than Jim West? :rolleyes:

Here is Al playing "Polka Power!" at the Jamboree Of The Hills in Morristown, Ohio.
And I'm sad to say - you can hear audible boos coming from the audience.
So, naturally, I created my own little rant about this, in the vein of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update...

"Really?!? With louietheweaselfaceddogboy"
Really?!
Really, Jamboree Of The Hills, really? When you booked "Weird Al" for a country music festival, you really didn't notice that he's a parody artist, really?
Because he's not country musician.

Yeah, did you think that crowd wouldn't notice? Really? You thought that when they came they wouldn't notice that the man on stage wasn't a country singer singing country music?
Because they did notice, because they went expecting to hear what was advertised - country music. I mean, really?

And really, crowd, what were you thinking?
Did you pay money to go to the non-country music at the country music festival? Because, in that day in age - you can find out who people are via internet, books, and TALKING, I mean really?
And if you paying for this artist where you had no familiarity to their genre of music, then why did you go?
Because they sounded trustworthy to be a country musician, really?
Or was this a free concert? Did the crowd have a free concert? Really?
So, let's be clear: you went to free concert and were unsatisfied and booed? Really? Because if I was unsatisfied at a free concert - I'd be smart and get the hell out of there - I mean really! Ruining fans' enjoyment over your displeasure? Is that like the motto of Morristown, Ohio's concert venue? 'Cause if it's not, you really should make it that based on your attendees.

And, really, did you think booing would solve anything?
What did you think your boos would accomplish?
Did you expect Weird Al to stop playing, storm offstage, and then watch the excitement of an empty stage? Really, that would be more enjoyable? You'd prefer spending your free time staring at nothing? I mean really!
Or were expecting that your boos would convince Al to stop playing his polka music and start playing country? Because I'm sure Al would rather you stop booing and cheering.

I mean really?! Wow! Really?!

This has been "Really?!? With louietheweaselfaceddogboy"

:D @ Louie TWFDB's "Really"

BTW, from what I've surfed across late at night on the RFD channel *Big Joe's Polka Show* that crowd would probably have been pretty receptive to traditional polka. All Al would've had to do would be to pull out one of his set lists from when he was eleven years old. And I bet his band could have followed him there, even without the rehearsal.

Oh, I love that episode of Johnny Bravo! I was constantly sad that Cartoon Network makes YouTube remove its videos. Hopefully, since it's not on YouTube, it'll stick around for a while.
