Obviously, he was/is talented in many respects. And its interesting how we derive the most pleasure from the simplest, human things. Here's a guy who, I assume, has no worries about money, enjoys great fame, is a huge success in his chosen field. He can afford to treat himself to great meals, expensive possessions. And what gives him the most pleasure: a girl from his pre-teen years remembers him, and has saved, all these years, a drawing he did for her. There's a world of wisdom in that simple story.
What a cool story about weird Al! I have to say I agree with Robert Cosgrove's comment before me. And.... great talent at 12 by Al! Wow, what a cool drawing! Merry Christmas and thanks for always keeping us entertained and informed!
I like the style he used on her name - it looks like it could serve as a model for a mythical "Junior High School Guy Font".
