Why is it necessary to hate someone if you do not like them? I am not a fan of him so i just ignore him.

Not much of a Weird Al fan but I think he is definitely in the genius category. I remember him in an interview and he was saying that most of his work is original, but the spoof songs are the ones that he is known for. He didn't mind obvioulsy and I kind of wondered what his other stuff is like.

He kind of acts like an alien just enjoying himself on Earth.

He is clearly a talented musician with a great sense of humor. I wouldn't sit around and listen to his music and he's far from genius.

He was one of my favorites when back in the late 80's.

I don't know about genius but he definitely gets credit for making a sick niche career for himself

To those of you saying, "OMG, 80s!," Al's two biggest albums are his two most recent, in 2006 and 2011.
