    I've been a fan of weird Al's for 30 years at least and Nirvana for 30 years at least and I feel that Al should have walked out of the interview as soon as the word heroin was mentioned. Whoever the hell this guy is he needs to take a step back and may find new profession very very unprofessional of mentioning heroin when the story isn't even about that

    me my mom and sisters saw weird al yankovic at the grocery store it was just us in the isle and my mom walked up and asked for his autograph which he happily gave and I hid behind my mom cuz I was star struck I knew who was but not only that literally a few months before I saw his behind the music episode on VH1 so I knew the kind of success he had and it was just surreal. I lost in jeopardy!

    There‘s certain guys like Weird Al (in music),Carrot Top (in Stand Up) or Nardwuar (in journalism) whose schtick may not be everybody‘s cup of tea,but their success and longjevity has to be respected!
    Love the format,especially with those kind of outliners ❤
