I think of Pearl Jam – that group has stayed pretty much the same for a long, long time. What do you think accounts for that longevity, that ability to stay together and not get on each other's nerves to the point where you just want to never be near each other again?

What kind of reaction have you gotten from fans of yours? Sometimes, I think fans get a little too in love with what they liked about you when you started, and maybe don't like it when an artist tries to do new things. It seems like you’ve evolved so well with a music industry that is constantly evolving and shifting.

It seemed like there were a lot of references to classical compositions and a connection to Vivaldi, so what drew you to that vibe? Gill, David (December 19, 2022).

We’ve done it from time to time; not on every record, but we go (play a show) under the name Goat Punishment. And we’ve been doing it since the late ‘90s. Most people don’t know who Goat Punishment is, but there’s some fans in town who do and they’re sure to show up and they know they’re not going to be hearing “Beverly Hills” or “Island in the Sun”; they’re going to be hearing some new stuff or some very experimental stuff that’s not going to be polished. And they’re happy to be along for the ride.

You’re very active on social media to stay connected to your fans, but it almost seems like social media itself is kind of counter intuitive to the whole Eastern spiritual view, because it’s so busy and conflict-ridden. Do you have any struggles with social media as an artist? The lead single, "I Want a Dog", was released on December 9, 2022, [6] with a live performance of the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on December 16, 2022. [7] In the end, we're left with a project that has some wonderful moments that are drowned out by moments of bland power pop. SZNZ as a whole is a mess, I think there's so much to love here and the concepts sounded amazing but in the end it doesn't feel like any of those concepts were actually fleshed out enough to be interesting. I just realized, Rivers, that this is a strictly northern hemisphere kind of record – are our fans in Australia, New Zealand going to be upset?

I have not experienced nirvana or anything close to it, but I meditate two hours a day. And I’ve been doing that for 20 years now, so it’s hard for me to know, like, what it has given me, because I don’t know what life would be like without it. But my guess is that it really helps me stay calm and roll with the changes. As you said, there’s just been incredible changes in the music industry and many parts of modern life. Just got to stay calm. Cuomo, Rivers. Mister Rivers' Neighborhood 9 July 2021 https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:SZNSRiverchat_7_9_21.jpg

Cuomo, Rivers. Mister Rivers' Neighborhood 29 April 2021 https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:SZNS_ps.jpg We definitely went through that phase, like in the beginning of the 2000s. It was real tough. But it seems like we're surrounded by fans who are super excited about new music and they themselves are actually frustrated when they encounter other people who have closed minds [towards] the new stuff. So it feels like we've got a great, great little neighborhood around us.
