I went to a comic gig earlier this year and they did an advert for sky, I was livid and proceeded to not engage anymore and tell everyone they're a shill

This is why more cool and talented people should be in the public eye. Weezer legit felt, when I was 16, to be the best representation of my aesthetics and values. Writers I liked referenced them. Their music was in ads for stuff I liked. And so my teenage personality was heavily influenced by these shitty people who made good music before I was born (and pretty shit music after I was born).

And that vulnerability and honesty and that highly creative style is what drew me in, in the first place.

"I love Audible, Get blind drunk and unintelligible, Or get so high its unmanageable, But I get it good with Audible!

The books read aloud are music to my ears, The money spent is the negatives everyone hears, But those amazing voices are like a great case of your favourite beers, Inside my devices are Audible!

Audible Dot Com! The place to be, Audible Dot Com! The amazing titles you'll see! Audible Dot Com! Its all you need, When you're drinking beers or smoking weed!

Audible Dot Com!"

• Weezer, a once decent band turned advertising group.

How would this even work? Would the crowd not be booing the ad-song? I can’t imagine a sponsor would want that.

My friend went to a Weezer concert recently, he said there weren't any ads pushed.

Whatever. Rivers and co haven't written a great song since the Blue Album anyway.
