"It's going to be a mix of her watching the stage and watching my reaction to what's going on on the stage," Moravec said with a laugh. Moravec saw Yankovic play the DECC in 2000, and this month the writer and radio host will be sitting in the third row with his wife, who has yet to experience Yankovic live. "I love that there's a Minnesota connection as solid as that," said Luke Moravec, one of the artist's many Duluth fans. The man born Alfred Matthew Yankovic has one of the most recognizable looks in show business: long, curly brown locks framing a narrow face with a wide grin and mischievous eyes that, in the artist's '80s heyday, were often framed in oversize spectacles and complemented with a distinctive split mustache. "Certainly, you had lots of novelty hits, but he put that all together in one package in a way that nobody else had." "There were individual parody songs" that hit the charts before Yankovic emerged in the 1980s, Matos noted. To be clear, Matos means that observation as a compliment. "He's this pasty-faced geek who came out of the suburbs of Southern California and was making fun of stuff, and he got a career out of it." None of those other big names, though - not even Insane Clown Posse, not even Yanni - are quite as fun to say, quite as certain to put a smile on your face, as the name of "Weird Al" Yankovic. DULUTH - Over the years, the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center has hosted many big names.
