News flash:
Weird Al Yankovic is never going away. His long career, beginning with a 1976 radio spot on the syndicated
Dr. Demento Show, confirms that song parody, funny poems and wacky celebrity interviews are still viable ways to remain relevant. See what we mean when he performs at the Uptown Theater (3600 Broadway, 816-753-8665). Doors open at 7 p.m, and tickets cost $35–$110. See
