… Word crimes? 'Weird Al Seriously' takes academic look at beloved parody musician | Music | bakersfield.com. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

He is a very nice guy. When I've interviewed other people, they seem distracted, they'll look at their cellphones and make calls. But (Yankovic) was fully engaged. He had never met me but he invited me to his home. He was wonderfully nice and really helpful with no strings. His band has been the same group since the beginning, which is really unusual and it's because they like to work with him.
