'Weird Al' bugs out
DU QUOIN, Ill. (AP) — 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.

I read about that in the paper recently. It was unique...but at least it wasn't tragic.

You would think something like that would be planned as part of the show, because Weird Al does put on some wild and crazy concerts :lol:

It's good that he is ok though :)

Hey a new song parody for him to write ... "I always feel like, some bugs and fleas". I think that Rockwell would buy off on the idea. :thumb:
