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=.
