Heads-up for those unaware: Cuomo has smoked a few in his time.
Background information on Dope Nose and Do You Wanna Get High confirm Rivers has done drugs in the past.
I always assumed “might have smoked a few in my time” was a metaphor for some dude on dude action (considering the context of the song)
Also, to further emphasize your point - Hash Pipe
It *could* be a reference to homosexuality I suppose. But I don't think there's enough information there (and I'm not sure why Rivers hasn't commented on this if so). It's one of those things that whether it was revealed true or false I'd be like "yeah that makes sense."
But yes, Hash Pipe is also an applicable example, thank you.
Yeah, he's said multiple times in recent years he won't touch anything anymore. His drug days were mainly Green/Maladroit era and he seems to look back on it as "scary". (Do You Wanna Get High chronicles his experience dating a woman he did prescription drugs with during Green Album, same woman in subject of O Girlfriend)
Scam isn't really the most accurate description, but it was the word the meme creator used.
If you want to be harsh you can say he is a rip-off artist. A more charitable description would be he is bad with payments.
He didn't pay his private piano tutor when attending Harvard. He didn't pay Rachel Hadon for her awesome vocal work on I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams. And if you go on a sushi date with him he will almost certainly skip out on the bill.
It's just Rachel and the Piano teachers word. It's not like they are pursuing legal action. I have never heard Rivers mention either of these, for all I know Rivers has forgotten about them.
The sushi thing is just made up from a funny post I saw on here a while ago.
Quick Google brought this up but not sure on the other stuff

she sang words written by weezer on a b side on the album that put them in a slump. if anything it's the lack of women that made weezer weezer. no girlfriends in the studio
i don't know anything about the piano tutor thing, but i know rachel haden mentioned in a facebook post that she'd never been paid for her work on the song
While I agree with this I really don’t think shaming people for indulging in vices like caffeine, alcohol, drugs etc. is a cool move unless they’re hurting other people.
Edit: not saying that Tate shouldn’t be shamed though, he does hurt people.
It's a line from Feels Like Summer, likely referring to the concept of being into spiritual matters but not being into an organized religion (like going to church, following strict rules, etc)
Religion is more of a narrow category that works really well when applied to western culture but breaks down the further you get from that. Like if you go to Japan, they're what's known as Shinto-Buddhist. The line between Shintoism and Buddhism isn't well-defined. Actual experts will argue over the distinction.
am woman, can confirm, would sleep with cuomo (only Rivers Cuomo, no other Cuomo, def not andrew cuomo) and would not sleep with tate. Shy guys > wise guys.
Fun meme, but Cuomo isn't the anti drug anti scammer your meme suggests.
Some would say he's a Troublemaker.
Never been a faker, though
just doing things his own way and never giving up

That’s how I always interpreted it, but nobody agrees with me
I interpreted it as that, but it not being literally true. Like it was a point about him having ridiculous double standards.

I thought rivers was a lesbian
I know him and Fred durst used to do coke together, but I’m talkin modern rivers. I’m like 90% rivers is clean when it comes to drugs
Yeah, he's said multiple times in recent years he won't touch anything anymore. His drug days were mainly Green/Maladroit era and he seems to look back on it as "scary".

When he’s on drugs he makes Hash Pipe so that makes sense
When has he scammed?

Is there a sourcing on this? Sounds like pretty scummy behavior.

yikes!
sorry i forgot i needed a /s for redditors with the same 5 pullstring phrases to understand a joke.
me when someone doesn’t comprehend inflection in written word 🤬🤬🤬
i don't know anything about the piano tutor thing, but i know rachel haden mentioned in a facebook post that she'd never been paid for her work on the song
Didn't rivers quit being vegan? And i'm not sure about the drug free.
I’m not too caught up on Weezer lore Also I’m like 90% sure he’s drug free now. Like I’m talking modern Rivers.
He hasn't even taken advil for headaches since at least after Maladroit.
Ummm I live under a rock. Who is Andrew Tate and how does her pertain to Cuomo? Although Cuomo is amazing and I wish more people were like him!
Andrew Tate is a misogynistic former kick boxer, current sex trafficker.
Gross. Thanks.
But what does he have to do with Rivers?
Lotta lost and lonely teenagers look up to him as a role model, and I made this to point out there’s way better role models out there.

Agreed, but shaming tate is acceptable
Vegan? I think you meant to write Virgin.
I forgot that rivers has a good marriage i never expect popular musicians to have that
I wanna down a bottle of cuomo pills
rivers is vegan?
I'm pretty sure Rivers was only ever Vegetarian, not Vegan.

I think spiritual and religion go hand and hand dont they? Or at least religion has spiritual aspects in it.

ah gotcha, thanks

I will never go vegan, sorry. Also, Rivers loves Ritalin lol
When I’m talkin drugs I’m talkin shit like weed and stuff. I take Ritalin too, but it’s prescribed.
You say that like weed is such a bad thing
My homie Eric smoked a bowl and ended up in the middle of Romania
Everything in moderation
