World of Weird Al Yankovic

Evil MTV. It was funny that about a month ago, I think, I was flipping through channels on my TV and saw a music video! It was just on VH1, the regular one, but I was amazed at actually seeing a music video again.

MTV plays music videos?!!!Just when I thought it couldn't get any better.

Well I hope not! Honestly I don't think Al could make it, on just cd's and tours. I think he needs to make video's. Cause he's not as funny without them. Not that his music isn't funny. But when you have a visual with it, it makes it funnier.And MTV might not play video's, but I've seen video's on VH1 in the morning.

Not only that if he chose's not too. I think it will affect how many album's he will sell.

But that's only my opinion!

I think his creativity would rebel against him if he never made anymore videos.

I've always thought of Al as a visual artist. Cause he doesn't just sing and play accordion, but he puts on a good show. I think that goes for videos too. I think the UVC kinda says it all. I don't know if anyone will agree. But that's ok.

I think his creativity would rebel against him if he never made anymore videos.

Yeah. I think it would limit his creativity.

But if Al does make that decision. I'll respect it and remain a big fan.

I'd respect his decision also. I would probably cry a little, though.

I wouldn't though. Al you better have a video, and if you don't, I'll personally send you a Prince ALbum.

I don't think the title of TUVC should be taken to mean anything. It's not unlike Al to release compilations that have definitive and superlative words in the title even though they were never meant to be final collections of his work.

Take these for example:

"Greatest Hits" - Well before several of his greatest hits, including "Amish Paradise" and "Smells Like Nirvana."

"Weird Al Yankovic: The Ultimate Collection" - See! This same word was used in an older VHS collection. It certainly wasn't the "ultimate" collection that the title says it is.

"Permanent Record: Al in the Box" - It worked for the title of the boxed set, but of course, that set was nowhere near PERMANENT.

So, I really wouldn't take the word "ultimate" in the title too seriously.

Congratulations on going Platinum, Al.

And almost as equally impressive, I only bought one copy!
