Jenny McCarthy died.

who I don't think yet was with Jim Carrey, but she was on the cover of Playboy in 94, Reality Bites was a lame version of all of us that we all pretended to hate, but we secretly loved.

Clerks was a worse version of us that we all pretended to like more than we liked Reality Bites.

Happy days, spoofs, you know, kind of funny, but didn't really rate.

And then Pinkerton, like I said, opened my eyes, but it wasn't until a couple of years later.

That record was released in 96 and was radically different, radically different.

And even though that was the album that Rivers Cuomo set out to make and that album, in a way, did what he wanted it to do,

Again, he's got so many conflicting comments and thoughts about what I believe to be Weezer's best album.
