Famous Visitors

..... besides the Archbishop and Queen Elizabeth dropping in we also had another illustrious visitor make an appearance....

"Weird Al" Yankovic started his North American tour in Richmond last night. And me and Missus "How Deserted Lies The City" were lucky enough to be there...

Here's the review from todays Richmond Time Dispatch...

Being Weird Al Yankovic means having a clever wit, a facility for words and song lyrics, a sneakily virtuosic musical ability, a head for pop culture and a dedication to his craft so extreme that he is willing to sport the worst hair in show business.

Actually, being America's foremost song parodist just means being more relevant than Mark Russell. But Weird Al does it with style, panache and a lot of awfully funny songs, as the enthusiastic crowd of 3,200 learned last night at a surprisingly unmuddy Innsbrook Pavilion.

I bet there are not many blogs tagged "Queen Elizabeth II" and "Weird Al."
