rivers cuomo Born:june 13th, 1970 sign:cancer status: single? spare time: bum "my name is rivers cuomo. i'm 23 and i sing and play guitar in weezer..." "i grew up in various little farm towns in upstate connecticut,completely sheltered from anything remotely "cool." at 18, i freaked out and moved to los angeles to become a rock star. i soon realized that iwas an idiot and gave up. at the same time, my girlfriend broke up with me. i was really sad and started to write songs.most of them sucked, but it became a habit that stuck with me. 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 to express myself."
