Say It Ain't So - Weezer (1995)* Video - Rivers Cuomo came home one afternoon in high school to find a bottle of beer in his fridge. Believing that his father and mother's marriage had ended because his father was an alcoholic, he now feared for his mother and stepfather's marriage. "Say it ain't sooooooo, your drug is a heartbreaker......Dear Daddy, I write you in spite of fears of silence. You cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good also I hear. This bottle of Stevens awakens ancient feelings, like father, step-father, this song is drowning in the blood!" An excellent live show, if not for Rivers Cuomo's egotism, I also learned that Ric Ocasek (Lead singer for The Cars and undeservedly married to supermodel Paulina Porizkova) produced this album (The Blue Album, their debut). The song rocks, but I can't tell you in words what music will tell you in feelings. If you don't love it, then you haven't felt it.
