@@nnylasoR Not only that. Growing up with a mom like that, one has to grow bonkers, get strange and come out totally WEIRD! I had a friend like that with a similar mom. He just turned out being an antisocial weird person with whom communicating with became harder and harder the older he got. In the end, he roped himself a day after his 40th birthday. It was sad because after all he was a very nice person. He just couldn't get out of his shell and communicate with people other than work talk. And the more one tried, the more he withdrew himself.

Just as I was trying to compose myself to drive home from the hospice where she died, "Bedrock Anthem" came on Sirius XM. I loudly sang/cried through it. It was like she was letting me know I would be OK.

I remember watching this on TV. Our entire family loved Weird Al. We still do. I also loved his MTV and Disney Channel specials. Anyone remember Harvey The Hamster? ❤️ I will always love this man. When I was in my high school drama class, my teacher introduced the class to Dr Demento by bringing in one of his albums. I had no idea he was Al's mentor and inspiration. I will always remember when my teacher played and sung along to the song "Dead Puppies on the Wall". 😆 Kinda changed me for the better. I miss that teacher sometimes. Thank you for uploading this gem. Brought back amazing 90s memories. ❤️❤️❤️ Edit: also, thank you for leaving in the commercials. It's a big staple of millennial childhood. :) I even had the knee jerk reaction to use the restroom when the commercials came on. 😆 The 90s was a great time to be a kid/teen.
