You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.

I was able to come up with a couple articles for the magazine, I was able to solicit help from a bunch of my friends to contribute pieces: Patton Oswalt, Seth Green, Emo Phillips, Chris Hardwick, John Hodgman, and more. It's very much a "Weird Al" themed issue, so I'd like to think that there's a lot of "Weird Al" flavor throughout but I think it'd be generous really to call me an editor.

I was abducted by some aliens from space who kind a looked like Jamie Farr.

You fake something until you're good at it.

I have a long-standing history of respecting artists' wishes.

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.

Right now I'm listening to a lot of Top 40 music, because THAT'S MY JOB.
