This singer had David Byrne and Robert Smith onstage with her before.

[Hoboto]

Who?

And calling Weezer “rock and roll giants” is a giant stretch.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only thing I know about Weezer and their Buddy Holly song is it was on my Windows 95 installation CD lo those many years ago.

[nickcarraway]

You still use Windows 95?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Of course. Don’t you?

[Ciaphas Cain]

I remember that well! In summer of 1996 some other students and I were hired to set up a computer store on our college’s campus. We had a few new builds on display running Windows 95. I must have had to watch that video a hunnerd zillion times.

[DAC21]

And?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I am installing Windows 7 right now. I hear it’s excellent!

[joshua c]

95 was too complicated

i went back to 3.11

[Larry Lucido]

I read that as "Geezer."

[Kleon]

Who brings out a what now?

[moviefan8]

I am disappointed. No Africa or Beverly Hills?

I like their cover of Africa.

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm...
Never heard of any of these people...

[Thunder 6]

Yes! I remeber that...

Cheers!

I can’t believe there are people here who don’t know who Olivia Rodrigo is. She’s had a ton of hits over the past six years. Your grandchildren and great grandchildren will know who she is.

[hercuroc]

Music today is all crap.

[Kleon]

She may have had some minor hits, but where would I even hear them? You need to be tuned into modern crap to even be exposed to it.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I can’t believe there is someone here who knows her. Never heard of her.

I do know Weezer. During the 90’s , they were regulars on MTV.

The only modern artists i know are European artists such as Nightwish, Epica, Sabaton, Florence & The Machine, etc.

The only American artists that I’m familiar with are Brittany Howard and the Alabama Shakes and blues singer Beth Hart.

Modern American music is a wasteland.

[Sporke]

I’m 60 and I know her. She has some good songs. But I prefer Billie Eilish, she’s hot.

[nickcarraway]

There used to be a Freeper who was Rivers Cuomo’s cousin, maybe he is still on here, can’t remember his name.
