First, we tackle the burning question: Is Weird Al Yankovic better than the original artists he parodies?* We'll explore the comedic genius behind Weird Al’s work, discussing how his clever lyrics, unique takes on popular songs, and lasting influence might sometimes outshine the originals. Next, we take a wild ride into the bizarre concept of the *Phil Collins Robot.* Could a Phil Collins robot rock out like the man himself? Finally, we pay tribute to the late Greg Kihn. We’ll reflect on his contributions to music, particularly his hit "Jeopardy," and discuss how his work has influenced the rock genre. As we say goodbye, we remember the indelible mark he left on the industry. Leave us a voicemail at:
