A Short Essay by Mr. Cuomo Anonymous

Introduction to this post by Casey: There's been a lot of debate about the new Weezer album since it came out. The split seems to be about 50/50 on whether it's good or not. Of course, half of you are wrong, but I forgive you. Here to set the record straight is our very special guest mocker, Rivers Cuomo. The following is a short essay written by Cuomo upon completion of his Harvard writing course, originally entitled, "Why Make Believe is a Pretty Lousy Album" but it has since been set to music and renamed "Best Friend": When everything is wrong I come talk to you you make things alright when I'm feelin' blue You are such a blessing and I won't be messing with the one thing that brings light to all my darkness You're my best friend and I love you (love you) and I love you (love you) yes I do The is no other one who can take your place I feel happy inside when I see your face I hope you believe me 'cause I speak sincerely and I mean it when I tell you that I need you You're my best friend and I love you (love you) and I love you (love you) yes I do I'm here right beside you I will never leave you and I feel the pain you feel when you start crying You're my best friend and I love you (love you) and I love you (love you) yes I do You're my best friend and I love you (love you) and I love you (love you) yes I do yes I do yes I do If you're looking for an amusing exercise in imaginative writing and creative liscense read this review of Make Believe. Also if you download "Best Friend" to put in a mix, I suggest you add the equally ingenius song, Graduation, by the lyrical mastermind, Vitamin C. When Cuomo isn't busy writing essays and touring, he can be found at his own blog, "1480919" Download: Weezer - Best Friend (From Make Believe) Vitamin C - Graduation [Class of 200 Remix] [Instrumental] Because I feel badly about the above downloads, here's a 30 song live Wilco set: Wilco - May 20th, 2004 Related Posts: Weezer, R.I.P.
