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?

Still, interviewing Weird Al is pretty cool indeed.
