I also met him personally after a concert. His performance was flawless and filled with gratitude. He is a consummate showman, fully disciplined, completely engaged with his fans, filled with the charity of Christ, and deserving in every regard of the utmost respect. His physical endurance was astounding. I wish him the utmost success in whatever he does.
It was a wildly different time; almost from a different planet, and certainly from a different culture. Weird Al and I are of the same vintage, and actually attended a pretty great state (!) university at the same time. One of my friends knew him (they were neighbors in the same building), before he made the big time, and said he was a very cool, very quirkly, very friendly guy. Back in the days of the “Doctor Demento” radio show...
Lucky! I saw him in concert twice, but never got to meet him. He really does put on a good show.
