One thing that I still don’t understand, having listened to the whole interview, is, how did you actually get the opportunity to interview Weird Al? Was he doing a press junket, or did you just bombard him with enough fanboy e-mails that he eventually caved in? 🙂
Really? Well, then that’s a good demonstration of the power of asking.
I think a lot of people (in life in general) are afraid to ask for things, for a number of reasons: fear of rejection, not wanting to appear greedy, lack of confidence, etc. Often they dismiss asking someone for something, because they assume the answer will be no. You know what I mean?
But I think you have proved that, actually, there’s no harm in asking. Wouldn’t you agree?

Ha! No bombarding and no press junket. This interview was scheduled the same way any organization would schedule any interview: I asked.
