"Weird Al" Yankovic is now mainstream?

Cool article on Weird Al. I had no idea his albums are hitting the top 20?

Great article. I have been a fan for a long time, and have seen him in concert once. I think I have every CD, even his box set from the 90's titled "Al in a Box".

He was always ,in the end, more popular than the artists he has covered... Even Sir. Micheal.

We've seen him play live several times!

Oddly enough, he is one of the most talented performers out there. His parents died a few years ago from carbon-monoxide poisoning in their home and I read a great quote from his dad saying how proud he was of his son.
Look at Wierd Al's career: he makes people laugh with clean humor. Also, he gets permission from his "targets" before he lampoons them (or, he always tries).
He is as cool as it gets.
Has anyone here seen his movie "UHF"?

UHF is a classic, I loved Stanleys Spadowski's playhouse and the kid drinking from the fire hose.

Still makes me laugh...
