...AND PATTON OSWALD AS DR. DEMENTO: I would so go see a full length Weird Al biopic.

    I'd be first in line.  In a tent.  (But seriously, why has The Compleat Al not made it's way to DVD yet?)

    (Note: Haven't watched it, being at work.) On the one hand, Weird Al is awesome. On the other hand, the lack of a nightmarish descent into drugs and alcohol made for one of the worst "Behind the Music"s ever.

    The only two points of conflict and tragedy are 1) the handful of artists (most notably Prince) who won't let him parody their music and 2) his parents' tragic deaths, which I could pretty much guarantee he would never exploit.

  3. As always, it's Gary Cole who makes it work.

    Doesn't Weird Al himself make that point at some point in his BTM?

    It wasn't that bad, because you get a lot of Weird Al clips and they tended to interview comedians.  It was funny, which is all you really need.

    Now, if you want a terrible BTM, check out the Huey Lewis & the News episode.  There's the Ray Parker Jr. lawsuit and that's about it.

    What's up with Prince on that whole thing anyway? Does he take himself that blessed seriously?

    Yes.  And Yankovic is respectful enough that he honors artists wishes on that, even though technically he doesn't have to if I remember correctly (I'm sure I'm misremembering, but I believe it has to do withthe results of a 2 Live Crew lawsuit in the 90's).
