'Weird Al' Yankovic keeps dorkiness close to his heart
Briefly

'Weird Al' Yankovic's true passion lies in making people happy rather than simply performing music. His unique artistry reflects self-effacement and a deep connection to those who feel out of place. Rather than striving to fit typical standards of popularity, he embraces his oddities, representing those who might feel like outsiders. After 46 years in the industry, he is set to embark on his 'Bigger & Weirder 2025 Tour', showcasing his enduring commitment to joy and creativity.
I think that more than the perfect rhyming scheme, more than the most ridiculous pun, more than music itself, what 'Weird Al' loves most in the world is making people happy.
When performing, 'Weird Al' is the spiritual manifestation of every dorky kid who never fit in, now finally getting their moment not by trying to fit into someone else's idea of cool.
