I think, at that, he had only written and performed _Another One Rides The Bus_ and was performing it live on the Dr. Demento show on Sunday nights on KMET, 94.7 in Los Angeles circa 1978. It was one of the creepiest experiences in my life and probably explains why I am so scarred…

It was a blind double-date. A girlfriend of mine was secretly (i.e., her mother didn’t know) dating one of Dr. Demento’s minions and the only way she could go out in the evening was if it was a “double date.”

She asked me along and my date was Weird Al. The four of us went miniature golfing and the whole evening was mostly spent with the two guys making bodily-function noises with various parts of their bodies. It was more like these “men” were 14 years old.
