Deaf by Choice

Me. At Weezer. On Tuesday. Getting my eardrums blasted out. The band's up there somewhere, although it's hard to see through the bright lights.


Fact #1: Weezer is crazy. (i.e.: Rivers performed the first few songs with a mask on his head.)
Fact #2: Their craziness makes them better.
The best part of the concert was when they had a 30 local musicians onstage, ranging from a guitar to a euphonium, for "Island in the Sun" and "Beverly Hills."
The crowd was pretty interesting to watch too--just about everyone sang along and danced to all the classics--"Undone", "Jamie", "My Name is Jonas"--but when they sang their new songs from the red album, all faces went blank. The singing stopped and the moshing did too. Pretty funny.
And it was worth choosing to be deaf.
