This is a heartwarming biopic with some slight exaggerations of the truth. Daniel Radcliffe who you might know from that wizard art movie he made a few years back plays legendary song sorcerer Weird Al Yankovic. “Weird” is entertaining and a spoof on the king of parodies.
I went to my first Weird Al Yankovic concert a few weeks ago and his latest CD is “Mandatory Fun” This is a picture of the video screen that he used to provide clips of his career where he was having fun and to inspire his audience to have fun too.
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.
This show was phenomenal. He did a great number of his many hit parodies and he didn’t disappoint at all. I was impressed by his production and stage presence. He used video, lights and costumes to tell his musical story. He’s been on the road for over 30 years. Yankovic has a large catalogue of tunes and he performed some of his best which made the crowd at Chattanooga’s Tivoli Theatre very happy It was a great night to be a nerd. THanks to my friends Mitch and Alaina and Elizabeth allowing me to tag along.
Tonight I am going with some friends to see “Weird Al” Yankovic in concert at Chattanooga’s historic Tivoli Theater. The master of parody and satire has made an impression on the entertainment industry. I have been a huge fan of his for years and this is going to be a great show. His artistry is to take a song and make it his own and to put a unique spin on it. These two videos show his ability to make great music and put pictures with them.
I am very white. So white the following song is kind of a theme song for me. I present to you Weird Al Yankovic…
