The weirdest concert I attended this summer | Opinion

When you think about Rhonda, classically-trained conservatory organist, church musician, and college organ prof, I’ll bet you don’t think Weird Al fan. And that would be fair, I’m really not. I thought for many years that Weird Al Yankovic’s songs were a pretty niche interest. Maybe because growing up, the only kid I knew who admitted he really liked them had pretty niche interests. But a few years ago, I read a long-form article about him (written by a skeptic turned true believe, after attending a concert), and thought, Oh! I might need to go hear this guy live. I wasn’t able to follow up on that impulse at the time and had forgotten it, until I was browsing the summer schedule for the newly completed outdoor Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids back in June, and guess who was on the schedule? Now I know the Weird Al songs that everyone knows, especially the early ones that released when I was in high school, such as Eat It and Like a Surgeon, but until reading that article, I thought he was kind of a joke act, just goofy parody songs. Here’s what I can tell you, after seeing him live:
