Weird Al Yankovic

But yeah, there's definitely an alternate route where I would have been just like Al the architect and probably have been somewhat miserable my whole life. I mean, the guy that is my stage manager on tour and has been for many years, he's an architect. And he still works every now and then. He'll go on the road with me for several months, then go back to his firm.

And it just reminds me, like, you know, okay, here's a guy that is doing quite well, and even he needs to get out on the road.

You know, I'm generally a very happy person. I really can't complain. I can't complain. We live in a world that's full of a lot of not so nice things. But I try not to be overwhelmed by that. I try not to focus or be hypersensitive about the things that I personally can't fix. I try to make the world a better place in my own small way.

And I keep my sanity by just trying to focus on the small pieces of joy that I can find in life.

You know, every time I do a tour, it kind of exposes my act to a new generation. When you look out into the audience, it's really multi-generational because it's the people that have been there since the 80s and now they're bringing their kids and sometimes their grandkids. So it's just the fact that, you know, I've shown tenacity.

I'm still doing it and I'm bringing something different every time I go out. which I guess that's appealing to people, that it's nice to be able to just put myself in front of people. I hear all the time about parents that have kids that came up to them and said, you know, I just heard about this Weird Al guy. You ever hear of him? And they're like, yeah, we've heard of him.

You know, I was just young and naive, and I probably didn't even know at that time that I should be scared. Only with the decades of time to have retrospection do I look back and say, wow, I should have been scared. That was a pretty scary moment in my life. But at the time, you're just too young to know any better?

Kind of, yeah, because I didn't know really what my future held for me, and I was just looking at my options. I mean, I remember I graduated from college with a degree, but I didn't want to be an architect. I wanted to get as far away from that as I could, and I applied for anywhere that would take me. I think I applied to a phone company.
