Comerica CityFest–Thursday Music Picks
Do you have to work Thursday too?
Ugh. Me too.
Well, Thursday at the CityFest doesn’t really hold any of the acts that I really want to see (my apologies to your band if you’re playing Thursday. I’m sure you’re great), but I can’t honestly pass up a chance to see Weird Al for free. He’s one of those performers that I wouldn’t pay to see, but I wouldn’t possibly miss seeing him gratis, at least once. I’m sure there will be lots of costume changes and it should be interesting.
Do think Weird Al will ever drop the Yankovic? If I were him, I would have a while ago. I mean, I can’t think of time when someone mentioned Weird Al and someone else interrupted to say, “Um, do you mean Weird Al Yankovic or Weird Al Jablonksy?” I kind of wish he would pull a John Cougar Mellencamp…I mean, John Cougar…or do I mean John Mellencamp? I kind of wish he’d just change his name to just “Weird Al” and then an album later to “Weird Yankovic” and then, maybe a couple albums later, to just “Al.”
“Hey, did you see Al last night at the CityFest?”
“Is a bear Catholic? HELLS YEAH I saw Al last night. Boyo, that’s guy’s weird!”
So, didja go see Al for free? What did you think?
I saw Al for free and it proved to be a ridiculously fun time. He was the draw of the festival.
