Episode 15: Weezer, "Weezer (The Blue Album)"

It's Weezer week on Radio Ga Ga! The history of this band and its frontman, Rivers Cuomo, is pretty nuts. Cuomo was obsessed with metal growing up, idolizing Ace Frehley of KISS & shredding guitar in his own metal bands. And this was after growing up in the Yogaville ashram, practicing spirituality instead of toys and cartoons. In this episode, I explain how he got from the ashram life, to hair metal, to Harvard, to being the king of modern nerd rock. Bring your singing voice and your Flying =W=.
