    It was either rock star or finding the mystery behind Dark Energy.

    I remember the Weezer video being on the Windows 95 disk. That alone tells you how long ago that was.

    Playing the same songs over and over for 10 year olds literally made Rivers come undone.

    “In my music class”

    He was like Andy from Parks and Rec in there.

    I was wrong about that band when they were popular with Buddy Holly. I thought they were a goofy sort of band because of that song and video. It wasnt until I heard the entire album did I know how wrong I was, but that initial showing of the band… it messed with me and I didnt give them a fair shot until months after.

    This makes me want to watch the SNL Weezer skit again. “Bitch, Rivers don’t understand what Rivers is going through!”

    I can attest to what he said. At that time, Rivers Cuomo was not a famous name; Weezer was. (And Thom Yorke was not a famous name; Radiohead was.)

    I think Conan’s tone is so appropriate in this interview. It seems to set Rivers at ease, and there’s clearly a mutual respect between them. I can’t wait to listen to the entire interview. Rivers and Cuomo are two of my favorite creatives – inspiring me in different ways since the 90s!

    Weezer is sneaky… wonder if any of this is true.
