As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
So I'm one of the few celebrities that got to do a repeat performance on 'The Simpsons,' which I'm very flattered by.
Al Yankovic

Al Yankovic
I'm a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, How am I going to screw this up? [Laughs] If I'm really actively trying to think of a parody, then I'll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.
Al Yankovic
Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.
Al Yankovic
How can you get bored if the audience is cheering and laughing at something you're doing?
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise. I mean, I don't write for kids.
