Drowned himself. FFS...

The interwebz puts his net worth at $20M. Acting stupid for a living has paid dividends...

"Funny"

"Acting stupid" BUT NOT stupid

W.A.Y. is a good man and painfully silly . He's looking alot like old Newsted these days , while Newsted is looking like Lou Reed these days lol

He's a fucking genius. The GOAT, no one even comes close.

This. Super smart dude that has busted his ass for decades.

I like him better before the plastic surgery... but, I can't blame him for wanting to score higher quality tail.

Yep. You speak truth.

I met him about 20 years ago. Super nice guy. I love him.

Lol what surgery did he have?

In January 1998 Al got LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis) surgery to correct his near-sightedness, so he no longer needs to wear glasses.

I guess that's it! He looks very different without glasses and poofed hair... I always ass-u-me-d that it was a doctor's handiwork!

I like the guy.

The bigger coup was shaving the mustache. And ditching the perm.

That said, I have his entire catalog, up through Mandatory Fun, and think he’s as big a part of the success of a lot of the popular artists we hear at any given time as the actual artists.

Funny fella

When I was a kid I remember seeing the video for "Smells Like Nirvana" on MTV and it confused me to the point that I thought the actual song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was Weird Al

There are countless pop songs where I know all the Weird Al lyrics and few of the originals.

Amish paradise is a big one for me.

I dressed up as Weird Al doing Coolio for a Halloween gig at a VFW bar one year. A couple of the regulars looked at me like they were going to kick my ass (didn't get the joke) and it took two hours in the shower the next morning to wash the glue out of my hair.

Alright, let's do it.

Put up your favorite Weird Al tune. This one has stuck with me the most.

I love Al. Dude is a genius and an excellent musician.

Some of my favorites are the original songs he has:

The first cassette tape I ever bought: Weird Al Yankovic, Dare to be Stupid. I think I was 8.
