Fear My Pythons

hey everyone. I was just wondering if everyone would interprete "Buddy Holly"
and tell me what it means to them. It's kind of a funny song yet I think it
has a deeper meaning... well, here is what I think it means:

Rivers Cuomo wears square glasses, and dresses somewhat "nerdy" if that's what
you want to call it. In the song "Buddy Holly", he says that he looks just
like him, and that he doesn't care what you say about him. I interprete that
as Rivers letting everyone know that he is who he is, and you can judge him
however you want, because he knows he's been judged before, and he just doesn't
care anymore. But then again, there's also a part of him that wants to be
excepted, understood, and loved.... and he is, by us, the fans.

I really don't know if thats what the song really means to rivers, but thats
what it means to me. What's it mean to you guys?

you put way too much thought into that. it was simply written to be a goofy pop
song about a girl, and it somehow became a pop song staple unintentionally.

If I'm not mistaken, there is an interpretation because Rivers writes songs
about his own life. I believe he felt responsible for a lady friend that
was not his girlfriend, and took a lot of flack because of it. She might
have been mentally challenged too. Anyway, I think i remember hearing that
in an interview, or maybe that song interpretation thing that they used to
offer. Remember, "The World Has turned is about how I felt bad after that
girl [from No One Else] dumped me", or something like that?

buddy holly, to me, means that rivers is rivers and he knows how to write kick
ass songs, and if you dont like it, he'll do nothing about it. cause he could
care less.

"Buddy Holly" is about a girl that Rivers had a completely platonic
relationship with...if i remember correctly, there were some bullies or
something like that, that used to pick on them because of the way they
looked....but its been a while so i am probably mistaken..

Naw, you're right. That's basically what I remembered too. I believe you
quoted that from the same thing I was referring to, where he quickly
explains what his music is about.

One time Rivers trapped a butterfly in a jar, but it died, so Rivers
felt pretty sorry about the whole deal.

I wrote a long interpretation of that. Basically everything that happens in
Madame Butterfly happened to Rivers. And some various stuff.

bzzz... wrong...

rivers:
"It's about a particular girl I knew... It's about my commitment to
her... our relationship... and, er, my willingness to defend her. It's
very platonic. Not a romantic thing at all."
