they don't get no respect Author: Dan Epstein (Los Angeles Reader) Published: November 18, 1994 weezer battles hipsters, frat boys, and bad reviews in its quest for perfect pop "Sign my muscle, dude! Come on, just sign it!" It's afternoon at the Roxy, and Weezer bassist Matt Sharp is passing the time before sound check by expounding upon the joys of playing for college audiences. Flexing his right arm in irritation of the frat-bay salute that's been a common greeting throughout the band's tour with college rockers Live, Sharp shakes his dyed head in wonder and disgust. "It's a nightmare," he groans.
