Al is #46 in Whitney Matheson's Pop Candy blog on usatoday.com.

The text:

46. "Weird Al" Yankovic. We never realize just how much we miss the guy until he comes back. Straight Outta Lynwood was Al in classic form, mocking things we all love to mock in a way only Al can mock them. He's white, he's nerdy and he makes no apologies.

Cool! That quote does make for a nice sig, btw. Nice how there's a link to weirdal.com in her little write-up. Bonus points to her for that.

Oh I don't know. I think lots of us miss him just on general principles.

That's a nice mention. I agree, SG, some of us do realize how much we miss him when he's away being a real person with a private life.

46? Haha, how appropriate.

Except that Al is 47 now, if that's what you were thinking. So close!

Another cool ranking for Al! But I agree. I miss him tons whenever we're between albums/tours.

Yeah, I miss him, too. It's hard to believe it's been over 2 1/2 years since we last talked, and hugged...*sniff* Such a lovely night, and it was the day after my birthday. It's gonna be hard to wait for the SOL tour to come my way. So, yeah, I miss him more than just every few years.
