When I lived in NYC I walked by this accordion shop in midtown. I always said to myself, "One day you'll see Weird Al in there." After a couple of years I saw him playing accordion with a street band about a block away the night after he played som theater in New Rochelle.

I consistently get this stuck in my head when I'm in the shower for some reason:

A friend saw him in the late 90s and said that he opened the show with that clip.

The owner of the office I work for went to Cal Poly at the same time as Weird Al. He said WA used to practice the accordian in the restrooms.

Bad Hair Day was a big deal when I was in 7th grade. I love how he keeps popping up every like six or seven years to become relevant for a little.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Same. There was a network of underground cassette traders who'd trade you a copy for a thing of gummies or sour keys.
