Forefather of the YouTube Spoof
Brian Raftery spent quite some time with Weird Al and wrote up an AMAZING profile on him in Issue 16.10 of Wired magazine. Brian delves into his influences in everything comedic, gets a tour into the Yankovic household (so jealous!), interview friends, and even gets a peek into a zip file that’s FILLED with working notes and drafts of his work with Straight Outta Lynwood (SO INCREDIBLY JEALOUS). There’s stuff in there that even I didn’t know about. Did you know Heavy D formerly owned his house? Okay maybe YOU did, but I didn’t!
