Previous Vlog (Day 3197) | Next Vlog (Day 3199)

Stephen takes the time to congratulate "Weird Al" Yankovic for receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This is a big deal because Weird Al was a childhood hero of Stephen's.

He first discovered Weird Al as a result of his interest in comedy and funny music. He became a huge fan and ended up buying every single one of Weird Al's albums. Through listening to his songs, Stephen was introduced to so many other genres of music that he had never heard before.

Stephen then talks about some of his favorite Weird Al songs, which are listed below. He tends to like his original music more than his parody music.

On a related note, Stephen's been working on a giant Spotify playlist of all his favorite music, which will be shared eventually.
