My ladyfriend would leave me if Al made himself available to her.

When last we saw him, she was in the front row.  He came down and sang part of "Wanna B Ur Lovr" to her.   How's a pasty phone geek to compete with that?

She even does stuff like this in her spare time.

He did the same thing at our show... all gyrating on the ladies.  And everyone was so calm about it... all getting out of his way so he could pass through the crowd unencumbered, and just, you know... sitting there watching, not getting up and screaming or grabbing at him.  People at this concert were the most tame bunch I've ever seen.

Also, what your lady did to that photo is awesome.  Also she is pretty.

I loves me some Weird Al. The fact that apparently the VH1 Behind The Music people had to really blow the commercial failure of UHF out of proportion to get SOME kind of story to tell because he's so squeaky clean just makes me laugh.

And he doesn't have to worry about Coolio popping a cap in his ass anymore, either.

That Coolio thing always made me laugh. Umm, Coolio? Don't get all twitchy about this - it turns out you did not write that song.

I love UHF.

I was watching a program on tattoos on Discovery or something quite some time ago, and there was a guy on there who had several Weird Al tattoos. Like seven or ten or something. Al was pretty blasé about it, too.

Didn't the VH1 thing basically say that Coolio gave his permission (which Al isn't even legally require to get, he's just nice) in private, but claims he didn't in public for the sake of his image?

He probably should have just gotten Stevie's permission and blown the whole Coolio thing off.

I think what happened is that Al got permission from Coolio's people, but not from Coolio himself. He has a policy now of speaking to each artist personally. Which kinda shows how {nice|paranoid} he is - he has basically a constitutionally protected right to parody anyone he damn well pleases, but takes the time to make sure that people are cool with it.

I love the story about him asking Kurt Cobain if he could do "Smells Like Team Spirit."  Cobain apparently paused, then asked, "Is it going to be about food?"

apparently after he was asked, Cobain declared it one of the proudest moments of his life.
