The writer for Weezer’s Web site tipped us off to thiz hysterical geek out session, which painstakingly documents the various similarities between Weezer and the Beach Boys. The comparisons range frm the totally unconvincing (”both bands have had gigs at the Whiskey a Go-Go in LA”) to the really nerdy (”both bands have members who have participated in side projects whose names begin and end with the letter ‘S’”) to the legitimately odd (”Cuomo and Wilson both have physical defects on the right sides of their bodies: Brian, with his near-deafness in one ear, and Rivers with his shorter leg that required breaking and resetting.”) Do we leave thiz post convinced that Weezer and the Beach Boys have some sort of cosmic connection? Oh totally, I mean how many rockers do you know that have mentaly troubled bassists, alcoholic fathers,and once participated in photo shoots involving animals?
