And sometimes, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lepM8VCGN7c the interviewee acts weird enough to help!].

* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Earlier in his career, there was a particular pair of horrendously ugly pants given to Al that he wore at every concert (which can be seen on his first album cover). He eventually ditched them. Later, he was known for his large collection of Hawaiian-print shirts and Vans sneakers. He still pulls these out, though not as frequently.
