THE 'WEIRD' THOUGHTS/OPINIONS/NEWS
Saturday, 08/08/26: Stories From The Tour
So how about that guy singin' and dancin' throughout the entire concert. Or tried to. It would've been worth watching or checking out if the phone did not shake and move around so much. Perhaps think about a "tripod" next time. If there was room to stand up and dance the whole time (outdoor venues), then should be room for a tripod.
It's refreshing to catch an interview or two during the tour - taking time from the busy schedule, in particular with a schedule that is packed. Not that we learn anything new - all interviewers ask more or less similar questions, it can't be helped (with a touch of a different one or two). Nevermind that Al "hates sauerkraut" haha. He certainly "hate A.I.". And more disturbing that the letters AI is similar AL and often confused.

You can find classic Al performances long ago by a dedicated fan, if you want to know if Al has performed certain parodies or songs. Fortunately, I found "Perform This Way". Move over, Cabbage Man or Cactus Man haha:
There should be a compilation of Al's covers. I think "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), was indeed one of his finest. I'm glad I found that too. It's very Weird Al-esque song.
One thing is for sure - Al's parodies are going to out-live the originals.
"Don't be offended when you see, my latest pop monstrosity. I'm strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre. I'm frankenstein I'm avatar!". The thought did cross my mind that the original artist would need to be put in a halfway house or a Mental-R asylum haha.

After the "Bigger & Weirder" tour, what songs would fans like to see *return to the setlist if Al has a new tour in the future. For me, some would be "Jerry Springer" and the underrated classic, "Frank's 2000" TV" haha:
"There's Frank's remote control, you can look but don't touch it please. 'Cause Frank's the one in charge and he decides what everybody sees. The picture's perfect clear, and everything is magnified. Robert DeNeeeeero's mole - has got to be 10 Feet wide", "And I'm mighty proud to say, now I can watch The Simpsons from 30 blocks away!!". Or "The Biggest Ball Of Twine in Minnesota" as an encore.
Countdown to Puyallup in September I think. If I were still single, I might have considered buying tickets.

I know it's not easy to hold and record an entire concert for 2 hours or so, but can you at least make sure that the camera does not go "Out of Focus" - that usually results in blurry. Also, I'm not sure if there are audio glitches in some venues, or if there is something wrong with the person's audio settings on their phone camera.
But I give a grade of E for Effort haha. I guess it's quite a workout to hold and record for 2 hours. But for the most part, it's been fun watching fan recordings.
It's still mind-boggling - how many bands can sustain the high-energy and enthusiasm for 90 cities. That's practically everyday for 3 months. It's more about if the audience or the venue can match that. Haha.
AL'S CLASSIC / RETRO PERFORMANCE SPOTLIGHT - "ADDICTED TO SPUDS" (THIS IS WHY HE'S THE KING OF PARODIES. EVEN GOT THE POTATO HEADS MOVIN' LIKE THE LADIES HAHA). SOME FANS MIGHT'VE WANTED, "ADDICTED TO PORN" INSTEAD HAHA:
FOR POSTERITY - 'THE TONE DEAF GUY' ON BIGGER & WEIRDER TOUR 2025 HAHA. SORRY, NOT EVEN THE FORCE CAN SAVE YOUR VOCALS FROM THE "DO NOT SING ANYMORE" LIST

AL's CULT CLASSIC CORNER
If Anyone Can, The Cabbage-Man Can! muhahaha
Or The Outer Space Cabbage Guy. Or The Extraterrestial Who's Supposed To Be A Cabbage muhaha.
In an "Amazing Stories" episode back in '87 (called "Miss Starlet", which happened to be the series finale after cancellation. Thanks, Al! muhaha)
Regardless, he's a representative from outer space as a spokesperson or spokes-"cabbage" for an interstellar pageant on Earth. Al has had cameos here and there back in the day,
but before "UHF" hit the air, I'm sure a lot didn't know that he starred in a full episode of a fantastical program.
Neither did I muhaha. Until I went back and happened to stumble upon this episode while watching other "Amazing Stories" episodes. I laughed my ass off at this one,
I guess I know why the series was cancelled now, considering the direction it was going in muhaha
Well, I guess that sums up Al's television career muhaha (AL-TV and The Weird Al Show notwisthstanding).
And Then There Was...Or Only Was:
UHF! "I'm your worst nightmare". In what is arguably the funniest sequence in the film, George Newman
fantasizes that he's Rambo and rescues his pal Stanley (AKA The Kramer Guy) from the vile clutches of the network honchos.
In becoming 'Rambo', you can't be a Rambo unless you are greased out or roided out with muscles, and that
weird mouth contortion that only Rambo knows how when he does his primal scream muhaha. But other than that,
UHF has fine programming indeed.
UHF is a cult flick that has a strong following along the lines of 'Office Space' and 'The Ringer'. It was panned
quite harshly upon release all those years ago, and I guess that's how some of the lyrics from 'I can't Watch This' came to
be muhaha. But sometimes, some of the actually good films are ones that go under the radar and become a cult hit. 'Harold
& Kumar' is another example of that. "UHF" is the story of an underachieving TV station created by a menial working guy named
George Newman, and it was going down the tubes until a certain janitor guy (AKA The Kramer Guy) made a certain segment hilarious bringing ratings up muhaha. The rest of the movie is filled with parodies and hilarities that only Weird Al knows how, including a parody of Dire Straits and the film's UHF theme song.
Well, that sums up Weird Al's acting career muhaha. Except perhaps a cameo here and there. He's been more successful with TV,
including 'The Weird Al Show' and 'AL-TV'. I'm sure fans would've liked the idea of a "UHF 2", perhaps a direct-to-itunes or DVD
kind of deal instead.
WANT TO HEAR UNRELEASED WEIRD AL PARODIES?! YA HAVE TO GO BACK TO WHEN AL WAS JUST A YOUNGSTER STARTING OUT ('84 CONCERT IN BURBANK):
Or The Outer Space Cabbage Guy. Or The Extraterrestial Who's Supposed To Be A Cabbage muhaha.
