When "Amish Paradise" came out, I was in middle school. Very coincidentally, we had a school field trip planned to Lancaster County, PA to visit an Amish area. The teachers wanted us to experience a different culture and way of life. The charter bus was blasting this song the entire way there. Was a very memorable trip and I still love the song.

I remember going to my brothers house and finding "Even worse" among his stack of cds. I listened to that album until it literally broke in my cd-player. Must've been around 88-89. Been a Weird Al fan ever since. My only regret is that I've never been to a show. Stuck in a closet with Vanna White is still among my favorites.

Al in concert is the best Al. I've been to 6 of his concerts and he's amazing. His band, of over 40 years are the best musicians in the biz.

Trust me he is... I have to say he is holding up really well. I'm positive that not holding the usual anger or disruption of most people is a solid factor. Not saying he doesn't get angry or upset like others just that his personality comes across in a way that says he doesn't hold it in he redirects it.

In the late 1970s, I was the perfect age for Dr. Demento. It was my favorite weekly radio, every Sunday at 7pm. It was the classic novelty songs, a few originals by the good Dr. himself, and then there was Weird Al. It was great stuff for kids who aren't quite children and not quite teenagers. I was stuck forever after that.

I suspect we're the same age within a year or two. Lucky you, though; in St. Louis the Doctor was on at 9 (if memory serves) and I had to negotiate a treaty with Mom that I was allowed to stay up till 11 on Demento night. Then for a while I didn't have my own radio (for some reason) and had to go listen in Mom's parked car every week. But it was worth it to able to dissect that week's show with my small-but-dedicated cadre of fellow dorks the next day at school.

He is such a cool dude. I don’t think a bad word can be said about him. Also, for 63, he is pretty youthful and energized. He looks like a healthy form of his age, embracing aging, but he doesn’t have the tired wear and tear of habits breaking him down.
