Weird Al was a lifesaver to me. Went in for major surgery twice (heart, then lung) and I was scared to death. But as they wheeled me to the OR, I was singing “Like a Surgeon” which greatly calmed my nerves. The medical staff wheeling me were smiling, too.
Weird Al is a national treasure. I love his `interviews’; Avril Lavigne is my favorite. “Foil” sent me looking up “Royals” by Lorde. Then a classic like “Living with a Hernia” made me watch the original with James Brown.
A comedic genius in Al.
Great story.
Very funny and touching.
Laughter heals.
