Sometimes ones problems need to be held up the light of perspective and satire. “Weird Al” Yankovic does a great job of that. First World Problems makes me realize life ain’t all that bad in the grand scheme of things. Tomorrow it will have been one week since seeing him in concert.

The music of our times is the soundtrack of our lives and it is the artist, the freak, the geek, the eccentric that creates that sound. I am grateful to every person who dared to dream and to make the world a better place. We can be heroes if we dare to go crazy.
