Weird Al is a national treasure
I assume this video is his way of starting a campaign? I'd vote weird.
Just watch it.
Ok, you convinced me.

Depression has now been augmented with Appreciation For Al.
Yeah, I somehow didn't really get just how many kinds of genius he was until recent years. I always liked his stuff, but I somehow never paid enough attention to get that smidge of countercultury gen-x (He's a boomer, but we'll give him an honorary position) "I see your bullshit" attitude that sneaks in from time to time.
Edit: This is another great one. It takes a bit of a left turn or two... https://youtu.be/urglg3WimHA
Also a long time fan - seen his act live 4 times lol. I can relate to missing some things - it took me 30 years to get the joke in "She Never Told Me She Was A Mime" - and it's in the title. There are some absolute gems hiding in the earlier albums. I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead, One More Minute, and Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White are all standouts for me.
One that really came out of left field for me was Skipper Dan. It felt like I was simultaneously being called out and heard. Subtle genius.
That was amazing! Weird Al just keeps getting better
someone gets it
thanks al
Has Al ever done anything political before?
