The Corner Lounge

Corner Lounge archive: Weird Al Yankovic Bonnaroo backstage 2013 interview!

It was great to get a few minutes (I was the last of 5 interviews for which he had a total of less than 30 minutes!) with the legendary Weird Al Yankovic!  I was sad to miss his set later that night, but unfortunately it was opposite the midnight Rock’n’Soul Dance Party Superjam that night, which ended up being one of the Top 5 shows I’ve ever seen in my life!  I heard from a reliable source that Weird Al was great & did all the hits.  There were numerous costume changes, so they showed funny videos to fill the time between songs…
