About this product
Product Information
'Weird Al' Yankovic is one of music's most beloved figures. A skilled accordion player and songwriter, the California native is known for his meticulous parodies of popular songs, hilarious originals, and, of course, for upbeat polkas! For much of Al's career, one man has been by his side, photographing and documenting the fun and weirdness: longtime drummer Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz. Since meeting Al in 1980, Jon has taken more than 20,000 images of Al in his element: on tour, in the studio, and on video sets. Black & White & Weird All Over presents hundreds of images of Al, culled from Jon's personal collection of black-and-white photography. These photos only existed on contact sheets - out of mind and out of sight - until now! From behind-the-scenes shots taken on the sets of Al's iconic videos for 'Ricky,' 'I Love Rocky Road,' 'Eat It,' and 'Living With A Hernia,' to studio sessions for Al's Dare to Be Stupid and Polka Party! LPs, Black & White & Weird All Over is the ultimate photographic essay of Weird Al's undisputed comedic genius.

Reviews
As featured in Rolling Stone , Entertainment Weekly , The A.V. Club , Nerdist , Gizmodo , Ultimate Classic Rock , and more. "The satirical singer/songwriter 'Weird Al' Yankovic and his entourage goof up a storm in this album of behind-the-scenes photographs. The sense of exuberant creativity and fun that comes through in these photos will appeal to Yankovic's many fans." --Kirkus Reviews "The last several decades have been an amazing ride. More than once--an annoying number of times, actually--Jon has warned me, 'Someday I'm going to write a book about all this!' It became a bit of a running joke. But now he's actually made good on the threat. It's a fine snapshot--actually, several hundred snapshots--of what life was like for us in the '80s." --"Weird Al" Yankovic "I was excited to get the book because I still shoot black-and-white film myself, and carry my camera on my shoulder on every movie I make, documenting the whole process. These shots are terrific and look great in the book!" --Rian Johnson, Director/Writer, Knives Out & Star Wars: The Last Jedi "Weird Al's drummer takes you into the studio, backstage, and offstage for the making of a superstar. Hey, I was there too--but Bermuda brought his camera!" --Dr. Demento "True to its name, this book features an almost entirely unseen trove of monochromatic photos taken by Schwartz - all capturing Al, his band and collaborators in the studio, on the road and in production of some of the funniest videos of MTV's golden age." --The Second Disc "Black & White & Weird All Over documents Yankovic's rise in comedy fame since the 1980s, capturing all the effort and fun behind his Grammy-winning music." --The Plain Dealer "Black & White & Weird All Over finds the quiet humanity and vulnerability behind all the zaniness. A fascinating, revelatory coffee table book."-- Nathan Rabin, Author, Weird Al: The Book & The Weird Accordian to Al, As featured in Rolling Stone , Entertainment Weekly , The A.V. Club , Nerdist , Gizmodo , Ultimate Classic Rock , and more. "Lovingly printed, often full-page scenes that are woozily kinetic, arrestingly intimate and cinematic in their framing. The book is, indeed, black and white all over, from the crisp, glossy images to the sharp, museum-gift-shop design. The not-so-surprising twist in the gorgeous coffee-table book is that there was more artistry there than we were lead to believe. The truth is, [Al's] self-effacing persona conceals one of the late 20th and early 21st century's greatest bodies of cultural critique - even if it's in comedy-song form." --The Denver Post "The satirical singer/songwriter 'Weird Al' Yankovic and his entourage goof up a storm in this album of behind-the-scenes photographs.

But now he's actually made good on the threat. It's a fine snapshot--actually, several hundred snapshots--of what life was like for us in the '80s." --"Weird Al" Yankovic "Weird Al's drummer takes you into the studio, backstage, and offstage for the making of a superstar. Hey, I was there too--but Bermuda brought his camera!" --Dr. Demento "True to its name, this book features an almost entirely unseen trove of monochromatic photos taken by Schwartz - all capturing Al, his band and collaborators in the studio, on the road and in production of some of the funniest videos of MTV's golden age." --The Second Disc "Black & White & Weird All Over documents Yankovic's rise in comedy fame since the 1980s, capturing all the effort and fun behind his Grammy-winning music." --Cleveland.com, As featured in Rolling Stone , Entertainment Weekly , The A.V. Club , Nerdist , Ultimate Classic Rock , and more. "The satirical singer/songwriter 'Weird Al' Yankovic and his entourage goof up a storm in this album of behind-the-scenes photographs. The sense of exuberant creativity and fun that comes through inthese photos will appeal to Yankovic's many fans." --Kirkus Reviews "The last several decades have been an amazing ride. More than once--an annoying number of times, actually--Jon has warned me, 'Someday I'm going to write a book about all this!' It became a bit of a running joke. But now he's actually made good on the threat. It's a fine snapshot--actually, several hundred snapshots--of what life was like for us in the '80s." --"Weird Al" Yankovic "Weird Al's drummer takes you into the studio, backstage, and offstage for the making of a superstar.

Book packaged nicely but arrived with a damaged corner. In no way affects readability, but as an autographed copy I was hoping the book would arrive in better condition. Seller provided excellent communication and service. I would recommend this Seller.
