APE IN A CAPE: Why Weird Al Is Awesome

This is a little long and may not be interesting to most, but I really wanted to say it.

Okay, it’s like this. I am a Weird Al fan. Nothing remotely ironic about it, he makes me happy. His parodies are funny, and his original material is even better.

I’ve been buying his stuff since I first…

Weird was the first “real” concert I went to as a kid and also one of my first CD purchases. He just seems like one of the best, best guys, and I’m so happy to hear that he really, truly is.

My first “real” concert was the same exact Weird Al show in 1999. When Ming and I discovered this, we realized we were soulmates.

At this show, I had won a little contest from his website and got to meet Al and the band backstage. He is every bit as kind and awesome as the legends say.  He’s amazing. He’s Weird fucking Al!
