Yeah, I like Weezer too. And I have a cautionary tale involving Weezer that all music fans with minor children should read. Several years back, I had vouchers for free tickets at certain concerts that I received as part of the settlement of a class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster. One of the shows was a double bill of Weezer and Panic At The Disco in Nashville. My daughter--a teenager at the time but not quite old enough to be repulsed by the idea of attending shows with her dad--said we should travel to Nashville to see the show since I liked Weezer and she liked Panic At The Disco. The tickets were general admission at a huge venue. I declined, since I don't like huge shows in general and didn't really want to travel that far to see a show where we would be far from the stage. Now I wish I had said yes. I missed a chance for some real bonding time with my daughter.
If this story helps anyone with a similar situation with their kid(s), it will have been worth telling it.
