Across The Sea - Weezer - Pinkerton - 1996

A friend of mine who used to work for MTV productions told me a story about how while setting up a Weezer concert they had to wheel Rivers Cuomo out to the stage inside of a crate, so that he wouldn't have to interact with anyone.

When he first arrived on the scene he seemed like validation to all of us nerds, little did we know this guy was far more fucked up and awful than any of us could ever claim to be. Pinkerton was the first clue that this was the case.

I mean, sure dude, we all like to think about teenage Japanese girls masturbating, but most of us don't say that out loud, let alone write a song about it.
