Al Yankovic
I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.
Al Yankovic
It's hard to say, I picked one of my favorite articles for the MAD vault. Which is one of the features of the Magazine so they don't have to actually pay artists or writers to come up with new stuff.
Al Yankovic
I'm very analytical, I'm very precise. I mean, I don't write for kids.
Al Yankovic
You can try on our suede underwear if you choose. Do what you want, but don't step on my blue suede shoes.
