DU QUOIN, Ill. - Things got hairy for parody singer "Weird Al" Yankovic as a flock of unwanted fans rushed on stage during his performance at a state fair in southern Illinois.

Green moths swarmed the Grammy-winning recording artist, some nesting in his trademark long, curly locks.

"My band asked me if I could find a concert where we would be attacked by insects," Yankovic told his audience Wednesday at the Du Quoin State Fair. "I said I would see what I could do."

Yankovic didn't seem bugged by the uninvited guests, though, as he plugged along with songs and costume changes during his self-described "rock and comedy multimedia extravaganza" to support his recent album, "Poodle Hat."

Obviously you have no idea how insanely loyal his fans can be. It can be scary sometimes.

Good movie.

Fletch XXX · 09-03-2004, 09:53 AM

anyone who likes fast times, should read the book.

amazing work actually.

what the writer did to get that story would make pedophiles horny.

pretending to be a highschool boy, going back to highschool, and hanging around all those slutty girls? how you think he got the story?

cameron crowe rules.

for those that do not know, same guy who wrote Fast Times at Ridgemont High (the school is near me) also wrote the very popular Vanilla Sky.

writer trivia of the day ;)

Sarah_Jayne · 09-03-2004, 10:05 AM

Well, Vanilla Sky was an adaptation of a film that already existed in another language. He did, however, write Almost famous.

Wow! That's pretty impressive. He was big up here for years and then all of a sudden you didn't hear much about him.

GREAT song!

Al is a genius and a true professional..

When he carried on working and touring when both his parents died said even more for the man though nothing more really needed to be said.

pornstar2pac · 09-03-2004, 10:36 AM

I even watched his blockbuster hit, "UHF" when it was in theaters. I bet not many can say that

Yeah Fletch was saying. I was just saying that he use to be really big up here and then all of a sudden you never heard anything about him. Glad to hear that he's still kicking ass.

so, just like me, you're guilty of forcing others to sing-along with "Fish Heads"? Even my kids know that song
