Is Weird Al Jankovic a Serbian?



This is for my friend Daniela who was completely mystified by my last post concerning General Jankovic, Frankie Yankovic and Weird Al. The last two she had never heard of....man, talk about being culturally deprived. So I am posting photos of them just so she can get a glimpse of what she missed. Now if I could figure out how to download some polka music, this would be perfect.
While searching for a good photo of Frankie I learned that he was born in Slovenia...so see? He was from Yugoslavia. Oh, wait. Yugoslavia didn't exist in 1903 when he was born. Anyway, I have no idea where Al comes from. Maybe that could be a question on Jeopardy. (Remember Al's parody song "I Lost on Jeopardy"?
And what can I say about Al's hair...with just a little trim in front he could be a model for www.mulletwigs.com Yeah, baby!
