What exactly did Weird Al do to piss you off?

I'm going to see him in ATL in May. I think Puddles might be opening.

No, that's not correct. I lived in Atlanta but my brother Bill never lived in Atlanta. I lived in Athens and ran my head shop, "The Looking Glass" with my brother Bill until the Athens police threatened our landlord that they would close down his bar by taking away his business license if he didn't stop renting to us. My brother and I had told our landlord when he first agreed to rent his commercial space to us if he ever had any problems with the Athens police because he was renting his commercial space to us that we close down The Looking Glass immediately. We closed The Looking Glass in August of 1969.

Our landlord was a kind wonderful man who treated us like we were his sons and he and his wife depended on his bar for their livelihood.

After we closed down The Looking Glass I moved to Buffalo, New York and worked for Fisher Price toys as a Systems Analyst but I couldn't take the winters so after suffering through one Buffalo winter I moved to Atlanta in October, 1970 where my friends were renting a house one block from Piedmont Park.

The problem is that in 1970 the Allman Brothers were no longer regularly playing in Piedmont Park.

I would have imagined Mike Ness to be an a-hole. Interesting.

I'd have thought the same thing before meeting him. Interacted with him several times over the years.
Another I left off my best list is all the guys in SlipKnot! Not remotely like their stage presence. The most cordial, respectful, and mannerful guys you'll meet. You'd think they were a church group!

I don't care to try to explain typing. In a word...arrogant.

It's weird because his entire career, including UHF, is deflating arrogance.
