The wacky experience of a Weird Al concert
Dancing pumpkins and Amish choirs, parody videos and costume changes, an opening act from a clown: all things one can expect from a Weird Al concert. On Sep. 26, hundreds of fans gathered in the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi to watch the parody artist Alfred “Weird Al” Yankovic perform live on stage. Weird Al is a musician known for his creative parodies of popular songs. These parodies include titles such as “Smells like Nirvana,” “Eat it” and “Party in the CIA.” Besides making parodies, Weird Al writes original songs that are still meant to be jokes, such as “Albuquerque” and “Dare to be Stupid.” His focus entirely on unserious music makes him unique among musicians.

The Narrows and the widespread support for ‘Chris’
Being faced with the unmerciful and unrelenting grief that’s delivered with the death of a loved one can leave the receivers plateaued in productivity, paralyzed in a state of shock. This type of loss hits especially hard in band settings, and most groups make the understandable decision to step down from the spotlight. Unless you’re local Memphis band, The Narrows, who after tragically losing drummer Chris Daniels funneled their efforts and emotions into producing the rest of their album titled “Chris” — named as tribute to Daniels, who was crucial to their signature sound. The band also put together community-centered events that amplified the artistry Daniels left behind, ensuring their drummer did not go out without an encore.
