WASF update
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.
The nomination for Al’s 2013 star has been sent and received by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The nomination deadline was yesterday at noon, but we got the necessary forms in with plenty of time to spare.
As always, I strongly feel Al’s qualification more than support his case, and Al will get a star one day. I hope this year, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce makes the right overdue decision and gives Al his star.

Sometimes you find yourself crawling out of bed in the morning, pouring yourself a cup of ambition, and think to yourself “I wonder if I could plaster a billboard on my garage door for cold hard cash?”
Canadian news site “The Globe and Mail” asks Weird Al about his serious thoughts about cities possibly selling naming rights to public properties.

The list of Walk Of Fame recipients for 2012 is out…
…and sadly, Al did not make the list. 
Al is having a great 2011 so far. We’re around halfway in and already there’s a new album, new book, and new music video out, and new tour on the horizon. It would have been a nice feather in his cap, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be this year.
We wholeheartedly believe Al deserves a spot on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. We will be nominating Al once again next year, and we will continue to do all we can until Al gets his well-deserved star!
For a full list of Walk Of Fame recipients for 2012, check out this link.
Today only… Amazon MP3 Album: $3.99
