Weird Al's record debuted at #1 this week, his first #1 record in over 30 years in the biz. I think we are finally seeing the hope and change that Obama spoke of in 2008.
LOL! I Think our culture is making a turn, and in my opinion for the better. I've always beena little geeky, but shied away from it, trying to be the jock and the cool kid. It wasn't cool to be into comics and stuff.
But then I made friends that were complete nerd/geeks at work and came out of my shell. Now I really don't give a crap if you think I'm lame because I read and draw comics. I love doing Cons and checking out the cool costumes that people put together.
So now 15 years removed from that point your seeing Movies about comic books breaking box office records, and TV shows like Arrown and Agents Of Sheild, and next this fall we'll have Flash, Gotham, Constantine, and Daredevil on Netflix. It's becoming pop culture and while not quite cool yet, being excepted.
Weird Al has been pioneering geek culture for years, even inspired the Nerd Core peeps. Now he's getting his recognition. And about freaking time!
New CD is good, I mean really good. Funny I hate the songs he did parodies for on this CD, but I do like the beats, and his lyrics make the SOOOOOO much better!
