My buddy rarousse alerts me to Weird Al Yankovic’s upcoming show in Raleigh August 5th. Alas, I can’t go, as we’ll still be in Washington state, wrapping up our vacation.
I was sixteen when I last saw Weird Al in concert. It was 1985 and I was working at Carowinds, where he and his band played at the Paladium. Al puts on a pretty good show: just the kind of kookiness you’d expect from him.
I see from the above link that Al is playing the Paladium again this tour. I wonder if he’ll look around and notice I’m not there?
excerpt from “White and Nerdy”:
I’m nerdy in the extreme
I’m Whiter than sour cream
I was in A/V club and glee club
And even the chess team
Only question I ever thought was hard was
“Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?”
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair
Got my name on my underwear
