How brilliant is this? "Weird Al" Yankovic has got an actual asteroid named after him, which feels like the sort of honour that should come with a certificate you can frame rather than something hurtling through space. There's something wonderfully on brand about Al joking that this cosmic rock won't trigger some sort of accordion induced catastrophe, because let's face it, the man's been making people smile with polka parodies for decades without needing celestial intervention. For Cledvibes Radio listeners who've grown up with "Weird Al" as a fixture of pop culture, this is the kind of feel good story that reminds you why novelty music and genuine talent aren't mutually exclusive, even if the universe itself has to get involved to prove it.
