Weezer Mourns Shuttle Pilot

Saturday’s space shuttle Columbia disaster claimed the life of a Weezer fan — Commander William C. McCool. A message on the band’s official site states: “The Weezer community feels the particular loss of Commander Willie McCool. Willie was a huge music and Weezer fan, and brought his trusty blue album on the flight not only to listen to, but in hopes of getting a neat picture to contribute to weezer.com upon his return. The Weezer community extends its deepest condolences to all the families of the crew of STS-107, and trusts that those 7 brave souls are now at peace.”
