I'm really surprised how many of you like South Park!

Why is that?

Because I hardly know anyone in real life who watches it.

They all like that pitiful excuse for a television show Family Guy.

South Park makes fun of everybody no matter who they are, but in the name of comedy.

Family Guy is like a little dumb wimp who picks on the handicapped.

RIP Clarence Clemons, age 69. The E-Street Band will never be the same without one of the most talented saxophonists around.

I had a dream the other night that I was the 5th Weezer (or possibly the 6th, since there was another new guy there... maybe I was before him, and he was the 6th.  Probably.)

We were on tour and were in a small town parade with a bunch of other of today's big bands.  We were holding our own in comparative popularity, but we knew we could do better!  Since a lot of these people were of my parents generation, I suggested that we try to channel John and Paul and write a new song that would remind them of the Beatles.  The other 5 Weezers thought this was a brilliant idea.  In the end, I wrote a song that was called Darth Vader Dad, which I thought was quite decent.  Even when I woke up, I was convinced that it was a great song.

It took a full day for that feeling to wear off.  :)

I ACTUALLY SAW WEEZER IN CONCERT RECENTLY.  THEY TOTALLY KICKED ASS.

Was I with them and did they sing Darth Vader Dad?

Oh, and welcome back to the forum.

YAY! I have finally sorted out a curfuffle with my University! Hooray! I have a place there next year!!!

Weird Al's new album is only $3.99 on Amazon MP3 TODAY. They certainly know what albums to discount to get my business.

Weird Al is still recording?! Holy carp!

Tom Jones is still recording. Your Argument is void.

 I just listened to the previews of all of the songs.  Nothing grabbed me.  Which is too bad, because I'm a pretty big fan of Classic Al.

The real problem is probably that I don't know the songs he's parodying anymore.

I'm in the same boat. No idea what most of the songs are referencing anymore.

Whats sad is that I know the "Weird" versions of most of his classic stuff more than I know the originals. Kind of the opposite of what you old people are experiencing.

I do for certain things, as I figure most do. I mean, I didn't know "Lola" at the same time I heard "Yoda", but made the connection when I heard "Lola" years later. Or "The Hot Rocks Polka", which is a Rolling Stones medley. Didn't know those songs as a lad.

It's much harder for me now as I couldn't care less about most mainstream music. I don't listen to the radio or watch...what did they used to call those quaint little things............music videos? But I will say that some of Al's best has been based on stuff I had no clue about. I'm sure lots of Al's fans had never heard of Chamillionaire before "White and Nerdy", yet it's one of his best tunes. :)
