EARTH TO WEEZER

Backstage at the sold-out MSG stop of Weezer's hugely successful Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour (with support from Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr.), Crush Music's alternative astronauts experienced the atmosphere of a zero-gravity green room, where the deli tray hovered in midair. Later, Crush co-founder Bob McLynn opened the pod bay doors. Seen wishing we'd drift off into space are (l-r) manager Dustin Addis, the band's Brian Bell, Pat Wilson, Rivers Cuomo and Scott Shriner, and McLynn.
