Al Yankovic has always been an awesome dude. I was a big fan in the 90s but have since outgrew him. I listened to his Greatest Hits Vol. 2 CD recently on streaming, and it's cool, but it just doesn't hit the same. I still appreciate him as an artist, though, and for how respectful he is of the original work he's lampooning.

I do fear AI will replace him for later generations. Parodies not done by Al were often credited to Al, even when they were dirty or profane (Al would never).

I feel like he should parody You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon. I mean, it's right there. "You Can Call Me Paul." If Paul says you can call him Al (the song title is from a misunderstanding that actually happened), Al can call himself Paul, at least for a joke. I'm sure somebody has done this, but it would make more sense if their name was Al.
