Back to school, again.

Rivers Cuomo is heading back to Harvard to finish his English degree…finally! However he will be forgoing the best part of the undergraduate experience since he’s taken a vow of celibacy. No, really. I’m not kidding.

“I decided to try celibacy because I heard it would help the meditation, and I tried meditation because I heard it would help with the music,” he said. “So, it all really comes back to the music.

“Listen to ‘Make Believe’ and compare it to the previous album, ‘Maladroit,”‘ he continued. “I know I can hear a difference in my singing. My voice just sounds much more sensitive and dynamic now. I also notice a difference in the lyrics. I’m much more open and communicative about my emotions now.” (full story)

So since he’s not having sex with anyone else he’s now more in touch with himself. That actually makes sense!

I’m so sophomoric sometimes.
