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.
And more depression.
That was amazing! Weird Al just keeps getting better
someone gets it
thanks al
Has Al ever done anything political before?
