Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that when Weird Al wrote I Want A New Duck in 1985, he went to the library and researched ducks for a week by ElderCunningham
We already know the rumors are true: Weird Al is... Just as nice (and weird) as he seems.

I briefly met him once, in passing, in LA. He was truly a nice guy who seemed to genuinely appreciate us as fans even though we approached him in public.

Everybody has demons. And with cancel culture its only a matter of time someone films him saying something mildly mean to someone on a bad day and the tabloids start coming out.

Are you claiming you’ve never done anything bad in your entire life that could be misconstrued by a tabloid? Give me a break.

But everyone does shitty things sometimes.

But not Weird Al.

Well, they don’t call him Normal Al.

You’re all normals, he’s the weird one.

I don’t care who you are. Somewhere someone feels crossed by you.
TatteredCarcosa t1_j4jeok5 wrote
Sure, but people don't get cancelled for making one person cross. They generally get cancelled for shit like sexual harassment or promoting white supremacist conspiracy theories.

When did weird Al get cancelled or when did I mention that?!?!

Somebody somewhere thinks he’s an asshole. Not me, but it’s part of life.

People don't get cancelled for saying something mildly mean to someone on a bad day. This happened to Tom Hanks. He's fine.
