Hi,

My dad gave me a newspaper today. There was a half-size page with a text about Weird Al and his latest album. I scanned it so everyone can see it. I'll try to translate it to English if I have the time.

This is one of the largest news papers in The Netherlands! Maybe the Dutch people finally find out how great Al is!

Hey, I can read some of that! It says "....Lynwood....Star Wars...James Blunt..."

I'll get back to you with the rest of the translation later. :P

Wonder why they decided to run an in-concert OMM photo to illustrate it?
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

That's great! That is quite a big article too in the newspaper. I can't wait to read the translation.

It starts with " If you says MusicParody then only 1 name pops up >> Weird Al Yankovic

But it says mostly about the usual stuff you already know about AL. There is a comparisson with a Dutch TV-Show called Kopspijkers ( a programme that tackles /parodies things that happened during the week or were in the news lately )

The James Blunt recordcompagny refusal of YP, Coolio's affair , a liitle thing about "If God smoked cannabis" song , which AL denies that it is off his hands , because there are songs on the internet which are credited to AL and we know they aren't. In that part of the story he made a typo >> Amerkiaan has to be Amerikaan <<

A little bit funny is the name of the writher of the article :

LUC WIERTS ;) ;)

Absolutely awesome. You can figure out the general gist of the article from the proper nouns. Thanks, Whizzi!
