Alfred Matthew Yankovic, Born October 23, 1959, in Downey, California, the only child of Mary Elizabeth (née Vivalda) and Nick Yankovic. Weird Al rose to international, NO, Intergalactic stardom with his weird brand of pop/rock music. And we LOVE him for it. Hot on the heels of the release of "WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story" on Roku, I'm sitting down with a guest who has seen Weird Al 29 times! AND wrote a book about him.
I’ve invited the author of “Weird Me”, the book that follows a moderately successful webmaster of a "Weird Al" Yankovic fan site. From minor notoriety to jet-setting for concerts, to earning a stalker, Weird Me showcases the awkward (and true) intricacies of an adolescence spent carving out a corner of the internet frontier in dedication to the king of parody. Of course, I’m talking about Kelly Phillips. Kelly is here today to discuss our Five Favorite Weird All Songs, both Parodies and Originals. I guarantee, this episode will be Weird!
