I also didn't know what has been going on with Weird Al.  Back in the 
early '80s I used to work with teenagers and we would watch MTV a lot. 
Over the years, MTV seemed to stop doing music and focused on T&A and 
"reality TV" instead.  Weird Al was probably the first to lose out when 
that change happened at MTV.  Anyway, it's good to see that he is now able 
to use the 'net to his advantage.  He's still funny!

By the way, the first time I saw Weird Al was on a late-night TV show, I 
guess it was Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show.  He was known as a street 
performer, they said.  He played the accordion and sang "Another one's 
down, another one's down, another one rides the bus" (parody of "another 
one bites the dust" by Queen).  That was probably 1980 or 1981.  I thought 
it was pretty funny and I used to tell people about it.
