I have absolutely adored Weird Al for as long as I can remember. His movie, "UHF" was on repeat in my home when I was younger (and a teenager...and adult) because it was so crazy, it made sense to me.
Then, as an adult, I made a friend who shared the same love for "Al" as I did. We bonded over the release of "Strait out of Lynnwood" and listened to his polkas a lot. We had the chance to spend a lot of time together, sharing our love of music, movies, The Far Side and pizza as he battled cancer. And when the day came that he lost his battle, his parents made sure I got one of his Far Side Books...and a Weird Al CD. This was a very meaningful interview. Thank you Weird Al.
