Weezer's Rivers Cuomo Heading Back To School At Harvard

Wednesday October 26, 2005

As he suggested some time back, Weezer lead vocalist and songwriter Rivers Cuomo plans to head back to Harvard in February, 2006 and complete his degree in English in June. He first attended Harvard as an undergraduate in 1995. He has attended off and on since, but now he plans to finally complete his college education.

The details on Cuomo's plans came from a recent chat session on AOL Music. He also provided details on his vow of celibacy that began in 2003 and his devotion to meditation. He believes they both contribute to an improvement in the quality of Weezer's music. The band's most recent album Make Believe has been very successful and includes the band's first top 10 pop hit "Beverly Hills."

Watch the "Beverly Hills" video.

I believe they both contribute to being completely deluded about the quality of weezer’s music. HOW IS “BEVERLY HILLS” AN IMPROVEMENT? HOW? Rivers, the only thing that could possibly be your saving grace right now is the certainty that you are having at least two nocturnal emissions a week. Otherwise, I shudder to think of how “make believe” could have sounded.
