WEEZER - WEEZER STAR UPSET OVER TOWER RECORDS CLOSURE

WEEZER STAR UPSET OVER TOWER RECORDS CLOSURE

WEEZER frontman RIVERS CUOMO is mourning the loss of Sunset Boulevard's Tower Records store in Hollywood because he once worked there for 18 months. The famous music mecca was one of many Tower stores that closed its doors at the end of last year (07), and the BEVERLY HILLS singer is still recovering from the sad news. He says, "Working there was my crash course in music. That's where I first heard NIRVANA, the PIXIES, SONIC YOUTH. "Without having worked at Tower, I don't know how I would have moved beyond just listening to heavy metal, and Weezer definitely would have never existed, at least not in the form it exists."
