Not to steal Molly's thunder, just to add to my goofing off. I thought we might try dead or alive. I found a short list to see if this interests anyone!
Weird Al Yankovic Musical satirist... Dead or Alive?
FALLBROOK – An elderly couple – the parents of entertainer Weird Al Yankovic – were found dead in their rural one-story ranch house yesterday, possibly of smoke inhalation.
Family members initially found Nick and Mary Yankovic, 85 and 81, respectively, about 1 p.m. inside their home at 226 Foxfire Lane. The couple, married for 54 years, were the parents of Alfred Matthew Yankovic, known for his stage persona, Weird Al, and his musical parodies.
The entertainer, their only child, was scheduled to start a tour in Wisconsin yesterday. He and his agent could not be reached for comment yesterday.
The inside of the Foxfire Lane house was charred and there apparently had been a fire in the fireplace, said sheriff's Sgt. Conrad Grayson, with the bomb and arson unit. The couple appeared to have died of smoke inhalation, Grayson said.
Firefighters and sheriff's deputies were called on a report of smoke in the house. North County Fire paramedics said Nick Yankovic was in a chair in the living room and Mary Yankovic was on the floor in the bathroom.
The couple were well known in the neighborhood. Nick Yankovic was scrupulous about his daily walks. Mary Yankovic sometimes worked in her yard, but Alzheimer's disease kept her indoors most of the time, neighbors said.
Michael V. Gazzo died about 10 years ago from a stroke, I think.
