new video for you guys...'Like a Good Neighbor'

Hey folks, check out this brand new video of the guys in action...

When we were setting up The Memories Tour, the good people at State Farm asked the band, “Would you sing our jingle for us?” Weezer then asked if the jingle was from a whole song, and if anyone had recorded it lately. So State Farm went back to their headquarters to find out the answers. What they came back with was that “all we could find was the lyrics and sheet music, we are not sure anyone has ever recorded the whole song.” It turns out Barry Manilow wrote the song, back when he was just starting out and wrote songs for commercials to pay his bills. Rivers looked over the sheet music and said “this is a great song; we should record the whole thing.” So the band went into the studio and had a lot of fun rocking out with Mr. Manilow's tune, hoping he would be proud of the results. This video was shot on a day in early December while Weezer recorded the song.

The video can be watched right now on State Farm Nation Facebook page. Check it out!

Perhaps I did overreach, but it was only because I assumed the lesson would be learned by the process of maturation. I should have said "smart adults."

you should know what happens when you assume, that is you should be "mature" enough to know.

I'll take an I.Q. test with you any day of the week, Samuel. You simply have a difference of opinion.

Oh, go f*** yourself you sanctimonious prig.

There are those us "adults" that actually value artistic expression and view it as more than passive entertainment or an empty commodity to shill for a buck. Who don't "give a s*** about corporate sponsorship or interaction" but do give a s*** about personal integrity and feel that maybe, just maybe, covering a corporate ad jingle is a little staid and frankly, as a fan of rock music, f***ing pathetic.

Furthermore, you look like a f***ing douche. A big, fat s***-eating douche who's never rocked a day in his f***ing life. So there.

What are you, like 14? Look kid, adults don't give a s*** about corporate sponsorship or interaction. We've grown up and learned that getting paid to do something you love is worth more than some arbitrary rules of so-called artistic purity. Furthermore, your sentence is incoherent. So there.
