Weird Al Is Enjoying His Rock-Star Moment

When Weird Al Yankovic, the country's foremost song parodist for the
last 40 years, took the stage for his first-ever Madison Square Garden
show on Saturday, his accordion got its own ovation. "Are you ready to
polka?!" he shouted, and the sold-out crowd cheered as he dove into an
altered medley of hits. ("Old Town Road" really shines atop an oompah
beat.)

At 65, Weird Al still commands the stage like a natural-born rocker,
with high kicks and the panache to pull off what few other artists can
(including a fat suit).

I saw him live in Washington PA, I think at the fairgrounds, around 2010. It was a fun show!
