Still Standing Mention

I was watching Still Standing, and there was this whole storyline about losing tickets. And the couple was trying to trick their friends into giving them their Stones tickets, so the wife took some tickets and put them through the wash. Bill askd Judy where she got the tickets, and she said she found them on the sons desk. The son overheard and said, "Hey, those were my Weird Al ticket stubs! I had them signed after the concert by him and his drummer, Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz" Now this was cool enough, but the reference was revisited. When they went to the concert, the friends they got the tickets from where there and said the son called them because, "You forget how important Weird Al ticket stubs are to a nerdy young man" So you West Coasters should still be able to catch this episode. I'm also thinking that second line might make the concert video for the next tour.

An Al and Bermuda mention -- wonderful!

They're important to nerdy young women too

Ha! My mum called me and told me about this. I got a good laugh.

And yeah, I also think this may end up as a tour clip. Than I'd get to see it!

Yeah, I mentioned this in Generic Al Blather. It really was a pretty cool mention. I would have to think that it will show up in the concert video somewhere. It's always good to be watching a show that you wouldn't guess would have an Al reference and then be pleasantly surprised it does.

This rerun was just on, but it was the first time I had seen it. It just made me smile to hear the Al reference & I wanted to share.

I brought this up in some other thread too. It was cool seeing Al mentioned, but the fact that one of the writers knew to mention Bermuda too, was awesome. Most non-Al fans (I'd assume) wouldn't 'really' know Al's band, so to speak.
