the one and only. lead singer/guitarist/songwriter. rivers is from connecticut, the exact town we're not sure of because i know for a fact that "yogaville" is not a real town. somewhere around storrs/willimantic/eagleville and stuff. he went to e.o. smith high school, and i will hold alicia to her promise to try and steal me a copy of his yearbook.
rivers is the quintessential "geek rocker," both in his appearance (buddy holly glasses, sweaters, just-too-short pants) and his music. he writes mainly about heartbreak and the girls that cause it, damn us. but behind all that, there's a long-haired metalhead just waiting to resurface and fuck shit up.
"because i'm so terrible at expressing my feelings directly, and because no one really cares, and because anything real is impossible to talk about, i've come to rely on music more and more to express myself." --weezer.com bio, 1994
