World of Weird Al Yankovic

There's a four page article on Al in the newest Entertainment Weekly (with Halle Berry on the cover)...

He tells "The Stories Behind the Songs" of My Bologna, Fat, Eat It, Smells Like Nirvana, Amish Paradise, The Saga Begins, Genius in France, and Trapped in the Drive Thru.

Sweet. I know Al has done this before for songs, and i really wish he would do it for all of them. I know hed go into more detail than just "Bologna is funny"

Awesome! Will have to pick up a copy.

Just read the article. Very cool. BTW, you can buy it on the Entertainment Weekly iPad app for $4.99.

I learned a few things I never knew before about "Fat," "Genius in France" and R Kelly.

Right! Totally forgot about the iPad app. Downloading my copy now...

I knew most of what was in there, but it was still a really fun read!

Amazon lets you subscribe free to a magazine for 30 days. As long as you remember to cancel before that, you don't get charged. Though for this particular magazine you can only do it for a Kindle Fire, which I don't have. Boo!

They just changed the header photo of Al to a painted portrait that makes him look way older than he really does.

It reminds me of this thing from reddit:
[–]areallysmallusername: Do you age?
[–]alyankovic: Well, the picture in my attic sure does!

It must be THAT painting .
