Grand Rapids Own Al Green played at the Fred Meijer Gardens last night. It would be a homecoming of sorts for Mr Green - who left here in the mid 1960's.

The reviews are in - the show was great, but started late, and Mr. Green barely played for an hour before leaving the stage. Citing the Weather (Which, in his defense was a dark to the north, but it never rained here) he left the stage after just under 60 minutes.  Now, with tickets at $70, I'm not sure I would have been a happy camper, regardless of who was on stage.

Well, one of my Favorite movies was "Weird Al" Yankovics UHF, and they did a lot funny spoofs in it, including this one.  It's short, but it's funny.

Billy Joels "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" and Weird Al gives it a good treatment. Take a listen to this Demo

Not one of  "Weird Al's" biggest hits, but still funny! Good stuff!   It's hard to bowl!

Weird Al Yankovic did a great parody of this back in the mid 80's and it's hilarious! Good Stuff, and a great song!
