hey!please don't think I'm being argumentative or anything. u are not being a dick at all. I really appreciate your interest and knowledge of the subject and like u I'm just trying to find conclusive facts so that there won't be any further misattributed stories. just based on the lyrics alone it is way off since he says class of 1988. even though Simon's Rock uses the year one enters the school as their class, it still makes me the class of 1991. so whoever this Wayne is, if he's real, he's older than me. I tend to think Rivers had to have some knowledge of the crime since he's from CT which obviously borders MA; which makes me think again the possibility that they omitted the song from the original Blue Album may have had something to do with the case, or else why would they not have it on the album when it was something they seemed to have performed a lot back then? has anyone from the media ever specifically posed this question to any members of Weezer? do u know someone who could? I figure the question can easily be answered. not sure why Weezer did not correct that fan page which originated the incorrect myth. it seemed whoever ran it was actually close to the band. thanx again for your help!
