The age of everything going viral has really helped in this regard. In 2006, You Tube was just getting started and there was few if any "click bait" type sites. Now, that stuff is the norm. People pay attention to what happens online and incorporates now more than ever. This has helped Al tremendously.

Just saw this link on twitter - SPIN 2014 Exit Interviews: 'Weird Al' Yankovic

Nice article. So, Al likes Indian food. I've never had any.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

There's a short Al quote about Don Pardo in the new TV Guide (Cheers and Jeers cover).

Really good review recently.

Does ANYONE have the VIDEO of him dancing Tacky in the ZOO?? Do you know how cool that would be?

Love his description of Pentiums, "A hacker-to-Luddite burn."
"First of all, I don't particularly MIND the rabid wolverine in my underwear...."

"I was not shocked by the power of the Internet," he said. "I was counting on it."

Not sure why he thinks a five year-old girl would think of his stuff as objectionable....

Like he said it goes over kids heads. I would know, I've been listening to Al since I was two, and I don't think I've turned out too badly.

I don't think that's what he meant. I think that "pick up something bad" means she could learn something bad, and then maybe sing it in a public place embarassing her parents or something like that :D
