    I discovered Weird Al when he put out 8 videos in 8 days for his album, Mandatory Fun, in 2014.
    I was devastated from a series for horrible tragedies in my life. Nothing could pull me out of my grief and loss, until I heard his funny and amazing songs.
    I've now been to 4 of his concerts and listen to his 14 albums all the time.
    Because so much humor is mean spirited and vulgar, Al was a breath of fresh air that made me laugh and feel positive.

      That’s awesome. I’ve had music touch me like that. I was going through a tough time, too focused on depression. I listened to Christian singer, late Keith Green, and I snapped out of it. He’s one of a small handful of Christian artist I will listen to.

    I saw an interview where Al said that his parents died in a terrible accident. He was on tour at the time. Being an only child, he was super close to his parents. He decided to continue his tour even though he was completely devistated, because his fans told him how much his music helped them, he hoped his music could help him as well.

    Since Dr Demento in the mid-70s, I’ve adored his music and he and his band’s ENORMOUS talent. And, seeing Mr Yankovic on various shows, the greatest thing about him is his kindness and decency as a human being. The world is better because he is in it.
    My husband and I were lucky enough to see him live a couple years ago, and my husband - honestly not much of a fan and a hard core classic rock and roll fan - agrees it was truly one of the best concerts he’s seen live.
    Thank you for this interview - I’m such a fan-girl, at 61 years old! : ) He truly brings such joy, and his band is so tight and together!

    Did Weird Al just say that this pandemic has made him Highly Inactive?
    Also, I'm not surprised that Weird Al is still around. His band is fantastic, have a great sound... and his lyrics are so much more intelligent than those of the songs he parodies. Even when he's just joking around, I mean, you don't find super obvious rhymes. And his originals on his Mandatory Fun album were really smart as well.
    I just love Weird Al's music and his fun personality. It's thoughtfully done... you can tell he puts a lot of work and effort into what he does. He is absolutely the master of parody and I look forward to what's coming next :D

    I got to meet Al back in the early 2000s when he came to boise idaho. The venue tried to keep guests back from him prior to entering the building for his show. He walked right up to is and just kicked it with us for a few with some photos and chit chat. Told the venue guys to chill these were his fans. It was great. He is great.

    I grew up with Weird Al as a Boy Scout now Eagle Scout and many years later I'm glad to still see him still making music. I wish I could have the opportunity to meet Weird Al.

    People such as Al and the cartoonist made such impact through their creativity and joy.. The cartoonist mentioned opened the world of classical music for me as a child. The cartoons of that era were backed musically with famous classical music pieces. I ran around the house humming and singing parts from operas and symphonies. Of course they were from the view of a rooster and his hens or a cat chasing a canary whom thought he saw a putti tat. It is so sad these creative geniuses would feel their works of art had no value. Al's parodies are so creative musically of course but also in their expression and literal reworking of the words. Al has brought pure joy and laughter in times of sorrow, sometimes restoring love of life. It seems to me he is ioverlooked in one area, since it is so obvious, he has an excellent voice and range with the ability to sing just about anything. All this is true, but most of all that has touched my heart and life, is his basic decency. He is the nicest person, as shown throughout his life by his generosity to those in need. He is positive and encouraging and enables us to laugh with him but not at anyone. Somehow you know he could but would not do so.Thank you Al. Cannot wait for your next song, but thanks also for the memories.

    My first album was Wierd al in 3D that my cool uncle won a radio call in. He gave it to me and my friends and we listened a lot. In 1990 I left home and my music tastes expanded exponentially. Since 2015 Wierd Al is back in my life, and has helped out a lot. Aloha, Tom
