My cousin is dying of brain cancer. It's not likely he'll make it to the end of the year before his body gives out. But he's still got a little in him and his what will pretty clearly be his final album is almost finished. All that's left is some art things.

He writes/sings songs that are funny(a few that are not as funny) and this last CD will have 81 tiny songs on it. Some of his previous songs have gotten air time on the Dr. Demento Show, a person he's, through his music, become friends with.

So, recently, Dr. Demento set it up so that Weird Al would give my cousin a call and they could have a conversation over the phone.

They did, and I learned that Weird Al loves my cousin's music and has enjoyed it since the beginning. It was just "Wow." To find out that someone you're a fan of is a fan of yours. Or, in my case, a fan of my cousin's.

I just wanted to share.

p.s. He also got an advanced copy of Al's latest CD(which is out at this point).
