Key quote from Bell:
"Festivals like Reading are kind of snobby," he says. "They are not allRead the rest of the article to see what kind of impressive prose Rendon throws around, and get thee to the West Palm Beach waterfront this evening to see Weezer, We Are Scientists, These United States (Q&A here), and the rest of a talented group of bands.too receptive to American bands." The last time Weezer took the stage at
Reading in 1996, the audience pelted the band with a monsoon of mud
balls. Bell envisions SunFest as a happier affair: "Instead of mud
balls, I picture a lot more beach balls will be thrown around."
