Yeah, and I look forward to people saying how Al profits off of others and is just trying to get more money for nothing.

Record labels suck, Al should just leave them and be an independent artist.

Go Al! I'm glad he's standing up for himself.

I am hoping we get some clarity about this, possibly on Al's Blog, but I can also understand if he wants to keep the business side away from the public Weird Al persona. If the story does catch on (and it seems like something that might), I expect we will hear Al's side of the story.

But I'm sure that the reason they were keeping it from him is because they were protecting him from illegal downloads of his songs.

I know I don't understand show biz much, but it seems that so many show biz entities are still operating like it's 1989 or something.

As someone who Al undoubtedly looks to for business advice, my analysis of the situation is this: SIGN WITH RHINO!!!
