When you have fans find rare or hard-to-find gems, you know they put the Fan in Fan-atic literally haha. I think "Born To Be Mild" would have been instant classic had it been released in an album haha. Nerd or Dork culture, this parody says it all. It's an understatement that Al has a treasure trove of songs. The rareties are ones way, way back that Al probably wrote without the intention of releasing it or just brain-storming ideas. Either shelved because they weren't to his liking, or never asked for permission. Oh yeah - gotta check out a new one, I think - "The Brain Song". It's too complicated for me. How about, "My Brain Is Empty" Song.
Thanks for the fan for posting videos of the recent concert in Puyallup. I missed it by a day - thought it was the 4th, but it was the 5th. Well - wouldn't been able to buy a ticket anyway due to family obligations.

How did they all fit in there haha. I heard about "Tiny Desk Concerts", never really listened to one. Not for the claustrophobic or if you're part of the 80% music illiterates of this world haha.
Al begins the second half of the tour at the end of the month, another two months of high-energy fun. Afterwards, there's a special UHF screening and Al has several projects lined up, including a Musical. A Musical of Parodies? Or A Parody Of A Musical? Whichever. Fans would hope Al would come up with a new song or parody, but although it's not out of the question, it's not a priority now.
And, I leave you with this for anyone needing a Therapist or a Guru:
"And when you wake up and find yourself in an existential quandary, full of loathing and self-doubt, racked in the pain and isolation of your pitiful, meaningless existence. You can take a small comfort knowing that somewhere out there in this crazy, old universe of ours, there's this lil place called..." haha. Al would make a fine Therapist indeed.
Saturday, 08/08/26: More 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 "hates A.I.". And more disturbing that the letters AI is similar AL and often confused.
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:

AL's CULT CLASSIC CORNER
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):
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.
