With the exception of watching (& cracking up at) the White & Nerdy video on youtube, I really haven't kept up with Weird Al since before highschool (I'm now over 5 yrs out of college). But my wife saw that he was going to be playing a concert at the MN State Fair which is quite nearby. We both thought it would be a lot of fun & tickets were pretty cheap.
I just got back from the show & holy cow! This guy is a FANTASTIC entertainer! I was surprised at how much of the lyrics I remembered to some of his classics that I grew up with like Yoda, Smells Like Nirvana, and Fat (for which he donned the full fat suit!). And there was so much funny stuff he did on stage that really added to the songs. It's gotten me wanting to go back & relisten to some of his old stuff and look up his new. He had my wife & I in stitches with some of his newer songs that we'd never heard before.
If you've ever laughed at his work & you have the chance to see him live, by all means do it!

There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.

I saw him during his Running With Scissors tour at the Monroe Fair in Monroe, WA (more than 10 years ago).
He did Fat & The Saga Begins/Yoda.
I have all his normal CDs, never bothered with the compalation ones (like the Food Album).
His boxed set of his greatest hits I also never bothered with.
Not really a fan of more modern music, so the only song I liked of his latest album "Mandatory Fun" was "Tacky" (a parody of "Happy").
A few artists say they know they made the big time when Al does a parody song.
BTW not sure how he does it, but he looks GREAT for 59 years old!

I've seen his music videos on Youtube, quite a while ago. I has to post that he was entertaining. I hope that he'll have a long career.

He's coming to the Austin area on June 18th, 2019 with a full orchestra.
His "greatest hits" tour.
I entered to win some tickets via a local radio station, hopefully I win.
If not, I might have to go anyways.
