"On this episode of “The Sunday Read,” staff writer Sam Anderson claims
Weird Al Yankovic is not just a parody singer — he’s “a full-on rock
star, a legitimate performance monster and a spiritual technician doing
important work down in the engine room of the American soul.” In these
absurd times, Sam reaches into his childhood to explain the enduring
appeal of an absurd artist."

A lovely pair of articles about one of my favourite artists of all time.

Share and enjoy,
