Hi Weird Al! Thanks so much for doing this AMA. As a kid growing up in the '90s, Bad Hair Day was one of the first albums I ever bought. Your music has been a part of my life since I was 8 years old and you've stated that there's a good chance Mandatory Fun could be your last traditional studio album. Are you still planning to release songs on a more individual basis or are you looking at getting back into a studio, perhaps under a new label? And if you release songs indivually, will there be any sort of schedule or just more of a song-by-song basis?

Finally, how do you keep your curls so damn tight?

I played RIFT a lot at launch but unsubscribed after about 5 or 6 months, just before my first daughter was born. With this new free-to-play model will I still have access to my original characters and gear or will I need to create an all-new character and start the grind over?

Also, not a question but thanks a lot for embracing the F2P model. From what I've read you guys are doing it right, and with the increased expenses of being a dad I'm glad I'll be able to delve back into the RIFT without worrying about where that $15/month could have gone instead.
