requiem

Fat people love Weird Al. The fat chick next to me clapped loudly through each song (sometimes over her head), bounced up and down in her chair, and screamed at seven second intervals. The hugely fat guy sitting behind me sang along with each song. I would have been annoyed with that had it not been the case that I could understand the words better from his mouth than from Weird Al's. I imagined that all the fat people orgasmed in their pants seeing Weird Al perform his Star Wars songs live and in the flesh. But the best was hearing all the fatties sing along with Al's finale: Fat. It was actually an awesome performance - Al wore the fat suit from the video complete with the fake double chin! The two songs prior to Fat were Amish Paradise (yay!) and White and Nerdy (yay!). Al rode a Segway around stage during White and Nerdy.

Here are some pictures, not from the performance I attended, but from one similar.

Best of all, I heard The Saga Begins for the first time at this concert. Having done so, I feel like I no longer suck!
