Seattle resident James Burns is offering Weezer $10 million to break up. Why?Every year, Rivers Cuomo swears that he's changed, and that their new album is the best thing that he's done since Pinkerton, and what happens? Another pile of crap like "Beverly Hills" or "I'm Your Daddy."I love Weezer, but my man's got a valid point. I'm one of those people he's talking about. The guy who thinks, "Oh. The new single isn't that bad. I bet the album will be great!" The guy who buys the album and is immediately disappointed. The guy who gets hoodwinked again.
This is an abusive relationship, and it needs to stop now.
I am tired of my friends being disappointed year after year. I am tired of endless whimsical cutesy album covers and music videos.
I'm sick of hearing about whatever this terrible (and yes, even if you like the early stuff, you should be able to admit that they are wretched now) excuse for a band is up to these days.
If all 852,000 of you (really?) who bought Pinkerton pitch in $12, we will meet our goal.
I beg you, Weezer. Take our money and disappear.
The guy who keeps wishing for another Pinkerton even though there will never be another Pinkerton.
Still, the $10 million dollar offer to break up is a bit harsh, don't you think?
But if someone could set up a fund for Nickelback? I'd be all over that!
OK! Now it's your turn! You have ten million dollars. Which band do you get to break up? Have your say in the comments. GO!
