    Cobain's response to "It's a song about how nobody can understand your lyrics." should have been "We already do songs about that."

      fireflocs Cobain also said he knew Nirvana had made it once Weird Al covered “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

    I died right there! XD I wish I could have seen that tweet! Maybe I can still find it in his history.

    He's looking handsomer as he ages (dare I say matures? Nahhhh). I never noticed him for his looks before.

      HowDareThey1970 I couldn't see it through his silliness in the 80's. He wears it better now.

      Marialla I think i sort of overlooked it too... yet realize i never minded looking at him....and would periodically see a really handsome picture. i think he was really strikingly handsome with the short hair wigs he used for a couple of videos he did in the late 90s. Reveals chiseled features best. I never fully embraced the long hair with the center part, but with it partly pulled back (like at some award shows and some videos) looks great, and in the beginning of the Foil video with the hair brushed out and the part off center his hair looks really good, shows off his face.

      I always thought he was cute in the old days, and he grew to be handsome.

    The word "weird" is spelled weirdly. Figures he'd call himself that.

    The interviewer was not able to follow up AT ALL to Al's answers to his questions. Al would say something funny and the interviewer would take an awkward pause and then just go on to the next question. REALLY? Can't think of ANYTHING to retort with? Al was clearly wanting some kind of comeback and remark, but nothing came.

    Al's an older man I would definately go out with, handsome, smart and kind.
    Looking good in this interview.

    The reason UHF wasn't a blockbuster was because all the blocks had already been busted that summer.

    Even in the 80's I thought Al was adorable, sweet and HANDSOME!!!! French author, Marcel Proust said, "I'll leave beautiful women to men with no imagination." This sentiment applies here...for me anyway. I don't understand how ANYONE can watch AL perform and not find him delicious. And he's freaking smart and polite. His own band mates say he's an excellent songwriter. He's so dreamy when he plays his accordion!!!!

    Nice to see Al. The host was a bit of a dud.
