Revenge of the Nerdy
From the Entertainment section of Yahoo News, Revenge of the “Nerdy” for spoof artist Yankovic. I have to say, it brought a smile to my face to read that when Al heard his album had hit No. 10 on the Billboard 200, he literally danced a little jig. That must’ve been a sight to see. I also liked how Al credits online sites like MySpace, YouTube and iTunes and how they have been great for him:
“I’d kind of written off the chance of ever having another hit single, since record labels weren’t really releasing commercial ones,” Yankovic says. “As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it’s been a huge promotional tool for me.”

Wow. This is the first time that my name was filled out wrong when I came onto this site. I’m now listed as Nick S.
I did NOT post anything under Nick S.
Must be an IP address thing…
Anyway..
That is funny about the Jig.
I did one too when the album was released.
I was so happy that it took me over an hour before I even unwrapped the case!

That’s so sweet! hehe, I’m happy for you, too, Al! You deserve all the attention. I liked how he said “It’s sort of dream-like”. It’s that way for me, too! I hope Al’s arm isn’t too sore from pinching it to make sure all this is for real.
