Presentation 1: The Ridiculously Talented “Weird”Al Yankovic

By David Miller

Take a nerdy musical journey into the music of “Weird” Al Yankovic, from early appearances on the Dr. Demento radio show, to food-based parody hits, AL TV, a cult film (read: box office failure), to the #1 charting musician. Infinitely entertaining, surprisingly catchy, sometimes disgusting, Weird Al has beaten all expectations, shown us that being nerdy can be great, and taught us the importance of proper grammar. This bullet-point free presentation promises lots of ridiculous music, videos, and pictures from the most ridiculously talented parody artist of all time.

About the speaker: 

David Miller is glad that extensive knowledge of Weird Al, ownership of all his albums, and going to his concerts is socially acceptable as an adult, because it certainly wasn’t acceptable in high school. David has two beautiful children, Nathaniel and SuperFly.
