Blogging Challenge 4

Reporters and columnists today are such liars. No story is ever the absolute truth. They always have to add their own little facts, and most people never even consider the possibility that reporters are just pulling information out of their butts. Weird Al is a victim of such crimes.

This blog is called simply, "Al's Blog." The site is done by Al Yankovic, a long time hero of mine. The most recent post, "Let Me Be Clear About This," is from June of 2013. There were some allegations that Weird Al was going to retire after 1 more album. This was not the case, obviously. IT was just some phony journalist or reporter trying to make a decent story, but all they really did was freak out a bunch of die-hard Weird Al fans. I honestly don't care that much, because Weird Al's best days are behind him. He's gotta be in his 50s by now, so he won't be able to sing well for much longer. He's no Robert Plant.














This was a perfect example of how the media distorts and creates information. You need to be really careful what you say in front of a camera, because something might be taken out of context.

  1. I have listened to one of his songs, "Amish Paradise", and I thought it was hilarious. He is a great artist and I am glad you are standing up for what you believe in. This really is a great example of how the media distorts things to make them look like something they are not. What is your favorite song by him?
