Featured quote - A high school music teacher of Rivers Cuomo's reflects on Avant Garde.

From a December 1994 article in the Hartford Courant [Kevin] Ridel is not surprised that 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. "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. "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." - Roger Catlin (Staff Writer from the Hartford Courant), Hartford Courant article - December 4, 1996
