Oh Yeah. All Right.

We’ll play into the game, too – we like Weezer. Rivers Cuomo, frontman for Weezer, is finishing up his last few courses at Harvard College. He’s 35 and going for the undergraduate degree he hasn’t finished yet. It’s been more than 10 years in the making - dotted with tours, album releases, and commitments other than academics. And apparently he’s got no fridge in his room and keeps on wearing the same shirt. Back in February we caught an article in the Globe’s daddy, the NYTimes, about Cuomo, which featured the same picture (in Globe's print edition - the Times will show you online with login) and nearly the same description of his attire (sneaks, stripped shirt, no iconic glasses). We’re not ready to call Kaavya on them yet, the stories differed a bit and today’s “the Graduate” piece in the Globe seemed to be an updated version of what we saw over the winter – including the detail that he’ll be getting married on June 18, ten days after Commencement. The greatest shocker of the whole story came with the imagery of Cuomo sitting in a dining hall eating lunch and humming “magic one-oh-six point sev-en.” Ugh. Light rock. Say it ain’t so. Before we break out into our own poorly crafted rendition of the Weezer tune we’ll drop the commentary, congratulate Cuomo on his impending graduation, and cut to video. A live performance of “Say it ain’t so”? – yes. Enjoy last summer’s outdoor performance from the UK.
