Rivers Cuomo has always been a little creepy and distant on one hand and then approachable and self-aware on the other. You can never really figure him out. Which helps to keep him and Weezer interesting even when their records aren't as good as people would like. Over at Daytrotter, they've got Cuomo reading a poem he's written called "By the Side of the Road". He whispers it, and there's some reverb on the recording, and it is a little unsettling, about living in a bush and making friends with worms and licking bark-- you know, stuff like that.
