My interview with "Weird Al" Yankovic
I write the occasional entertainment preview for the Regina Leader Post. This week I interviewed “Weird Al” Yankovic, and since when I posted that fact in my status update on Facebook I discovered a lot of people were interested, I thought I’d point out that you can read the interview online here. (In the print edition it’s the main story, with a big color picture, on the front of the What’s On section.)
I enjoyed talking to Al; he’s very smart, very personable, very forthcoming. But unfortunately, I can’t be at his concert this Sunday in Regina.
First I missed the Rolling Stones in Regina, now I’m missing Weird Al. Is there no justice in the world?

You should be careful asking questions like that. What if the answer is yes?

Still, interviewing Weird Al is pretty cool indeed.
