| | | ''["[[Friends of P.]]"] is about Paulina Porizkova, who is {{PN|Ric Ocasek}} wife, who used to come down to Electric Ladyland studios when we were recording ''[[The Blue Album]]''. And she would read our palms, and she was pregnant and she would just hang out. And we were like, "Wow, a pregnant supermodel is reading our palms." And then she would complain about how only bands like Warrant and all these '80s heavy metal bands are the only people who would write songs about her. And so she was really bummed out that nobody cool was writing songs about her now, so I wrote that song for her while we were at Electric Lady as an attempt to get her out of the '80s hair metal rut she was stuck in.''

| | | ''[[Kevin Ridel|[Kevin] Ridel]] is not surprised that [[Rivers Cuomo|Cuomo]] has achieved such success with [[Weezer]]. But [another] person is: Kenneth Holton, Cuomo's high school music teacher, a classical theorist (and decidedly not a metal fan), who listened to [[Avant Garde]] just to encourage a favorite student.<br>
| |
| "He was fascinated by heavy metal.…He had very long, teased hair all around his head. My chorus got a reputation for having the kid with the long hair," remembered Holton, now retired.<br>
| |
| "It's been really interesting for me. I hear a lot of harmonies and the chord changes of pop songs [in Weezer]. I was really surprised to hear all that coming through. [Cuomo] rejected all that entirely in high school.''

| | | ''I think that the artist (I'm only speaking for myself here), should be completely removed from the process. The only thing that matters to me is the work. It should always be powerful enough to speak or scream at people. The artist shouldn’t have to stand there at the opening, explaining things to people.''
