“The last several decades have been an amazing ride. More than once―an annoying number of times, actually―Jon has warned me, ‘Someday I’m going to write a book about all this!’ It became a bit of a running joke. But now he’s actually made good on the threat. It’s a fine snapshot―actually, several hundred snapshots―of what life was like for us in the ‘80s."―"Weird Al" Yankovic

"Weird Al’s drummer takes you into the studio, backstage, and offstage for the making of a superstar. Hey, I was there too―but Bermuda brought his camera!"―Dr. Demento

"Black & White & Weird All Over documents Yankovic’s rise in comedy fame since the 1980s, capturing all the effort and fun behind his Grammy-winning music."―The Plain Dealer
