Sure is!  I saw him perform in San Francisco just a month or two ago ...
what a freak!  Of course, he performed his Dr. Demento hit, "My Underwear
Froze to the Wash Line", shot off his cap guns at appropriate parts in the
set, and generally behaved like the lunatic he is.  The scariest part of
the show was after "The Lege'" left the stage while the band raved on, and
this incredibly drunk overweight 40-/50-something woman jumped on stage and
started taking her clothes off.  AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!
