|quote=When she finally asked, “Isn’t there anything else we can do?” my brain went into overdrive and worked out the various permutations: “Let’s see,” I said. “According to the strict definition of celibacy: I am not allowed to touch you [“you” meaning . . . well, you know], you are not allowed to touch me, I am not allowed to touch myself . . .and you . . .Wait a minute!”
|quote=Cuomo comes to surface a week later, calling from a Howard Johnson's and apologizing for his absence. "I was losing my mind that day," he says, "so I jogged for three hours around New York. That night we played - and it went great." An upbeat statement, considering that Cuomo's persona and lyrics are more sad than goofy. Weezer tread the dangerous line between gimmick and straightforward rock & roll: Anguished love songs like "[[The World Has Turned and Left Me Here]]" butt heads with half-assed Cuomo asides: "I look like Buddy Holly...and you're Mary Tyler Moore."
