Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo is a Musical Genius!
Have to admit I’ve changed my mind today. I never really gave much notice to Weezer. But after hearing this interview and song excerpts from frontman Rivers Cuomo, I stand corrected. He was so impressive- his passion for learning, expanding, and creating his music was inspiring. If you love the artistry of music, are an artist, or have a passion for anything, you’ve got to listen to this and hear a song he wrote and performed with artists solicited from You Tube. He wrote the words, the music. Check out the piano on this You Tube video. If you play piano, you know this is not easy to play, much less compose. Great stuff!
