A WORTHY CAUSE
I would like to make a plea. An Internet group called Al's Star Fund would like to see to it that 'Weird Al' Yankovic get the star on the Hollywood walk of fame that he so richly deserves. I implore you to pass this around. Visit the site. Make a great big stink about it. Diane Sawyer, if you are reading this, get to work immediately on putting a human interest piece together.
Al is, according to Kurt Cobain, “America's modern pop - rock genius”. I couldn’t agree more. Every thing I listen to, every morsel in my relatively expansive music collection, can be traced back my listening to Al. His satire is so broad, the body of musical reference he employs so deep, that all the education that I ever needed to fully appreciate the great volume of modern popular music, I obtained from listening to his records. Him and The Beatles. He is tragically underrated, and this would be a prefect opportunity to correct this long held oversight, and restore this brilliant Musician/Comedian/Pop Culture Commentator to his rightful place in the pantheon of American entertainment legends.
