A couple of summers ago at Jones Beach, I caught both the Pixies and Weezer in one epic night. It was like stepping into a time machine, diving into the catalog of two of the most respected bands of their era. “Say It Ain’t So” remains, in my mind, the quintessential Weezer anthem. While “Hash Pipe” rocked hard and “Island in the Sun” laid low, “Say It Ain’t So” shifted from languid to lightning with some of the band’s best guitar playing and storytelling.

“Say it ain't so. Your drug is a heart breaker. Say it ain't so. My love is a life taker.”
