After the release of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in [[1996]], [[Rivers Cuomo]] decided that he needed to straighten some things out — so he got braces. The [[Weezer]] frontman was living in an apartment across from a cement mixing plant, underneath the dreaded 405 freeway in Los Angeles, where he painted the walls black and blocked out the windows. He retreated from society, going months at a time without speaking to anyone, and when he did venture outside, he looked so rough that there were rumors he was homeless. Even by the standards of someone who grew up in a Connecticut ashram known as “[[Yogaville]],” as he did, it was a strange time in Cuomo’s life. In retrospect, it was an opportune moment for orthodontia. | After the release of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in [[1996]], [[Rivers Cuomo]] decided that he needed to straighten some things out — so he got braces.
