I have a very special place in my heart for “Weird Al” Yankovic. He was the first or second musical act that I liked independently of my parents. Meaning, his music was one of the first that I listened to on my own. It didn’t play in the house or the car on the radio whenever my parents would drive. Weird Al’s (along with Linkin Park) was the first music that started to develop my musical tastes. Eventually leading to this eclectic weirdo who writes for you today.
