Some of Weird Al’s fans are old enough to drink beer. I’m 65, been listening ever since “I Love Rocky Road”, and love his sendup of “Royals” (”Aluminum Foil”) which segues into his exposing the Illuminati, after which he is tranked & dragged away.

LOL!

Weird Al used to play summer shows at the old Station Square Ampitheatre here in Pittsburgh, a tentlike structure that put one in mind of Oktoberfest with all the beer a-flowin.

Sadly it is gone. Replaced by a minor-league soccer stadium.

My daughter introduced me to Weird Al when she was in college. I lived through the 1970s absolutely hating rock music. But Al gave me an appreciation for it through his parodies. In fact, we got all his CDs and it made road trips a real bast.

But then, we would hear the original song that he had parodied and I would look at my better half and say, "Weird Al's version is much better than that.

"UHF" is one of my five movies I would want on a desert island.
