==Lyrics==
Jimmy came back home from Boston
He had a suitcase in his hand
The kind you take for trips you're lost on
Or when you're playing in a band
He told his mama
He told her right
He told her everything and
She just smiled
Jimmy came back home, he quarreled
With everybody in his path
He said it's easy if you listen
But no one cares, so they just laugh
He told his mama
He told her right
He told her everything and
She just smiled

Joan Wasser

Joan Wasser is a violinist and singer/songwriter. In the mid-1990s, she played violin in a Boston-area band called The Dambuilders.

Jocobono

Jocobono was a rock band from Boston, Massachusetts that featured future Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh.
==Overview==
Jocobono was formed by vocalist and guitarist Billy O'Malley, bassist Mikey Welsh, and drummer Todd Perlmutter in 1995. Following the dissolve of other bands the members had been in, the group (who knew each other well and had frequently attended each other's shows in the Boston area) formed and began rehearsal sessions for what would become Jocobono. The band released one self-titled album together through the now defunct Boston-based label . The band did not have an established name during recording, and would encounter many struggles attempting to create one.
Perlmutter supposedly came up with the name Jocobono at the last minute, before presenting the artwork with the new name to their label.

==Lyrics==
Jodi
Pack up your things and go home
I never wanted to see you alone
Why don't you give me a raise?
Jodi
I'll never see you again
Now that you have to be more than a friend
Why don't you give me a raise?
Love with you
I cannot do
The things that you
Want me to do

Joe Matt

Joe Matt was an American cartoonist, best known for his autobiographical comic book, Peepshow. Rivers Cuomo has cited Matt as an inspiration in his songwriting.Kleinedler, Clare and Michael Goldberg. "Weezer Revealed: The Rivers Cuomo Interview" Addicted to Noise. 1996.

==Connection to Weezer==
Rivers Cuomo told Addicted to Noise in 1996, "Lyrically, I think I'm influenced by very few other musicians. Maybe Lou Barlow and Brian Wilson and some of his later songs. They just seem very direct and honest and unpretentious. Other than that, I think I'm hugely influenced by comic books. Especially the autobiographical comics like Joe Matt's Peep Show." The name "J. Matt" appears on the map included in the liner notes to Weezer's album Pinkerton.
Cuomo wrote a letter to Matt in 1997:File:Peepshow rivers-letter.jpg Letter from Rivers Cuomo to Joe Matt which was later published in Peepshow, and was followed by an interview between the two:
On July 14, 2007, Karl Koch and Joe Matt (along with a friend, Maggie) collaborated on a six-panel comic strip, drawn on a piece of lined paper. The comic was later uploaded to the Karlophone Myspace profile.Karlophone.

===Johnny Clash (ver. 7)===
Crushed in the coconut 
Smile on his face
Down at the Ale House
Beatin' drums and strummin' bass
Quick with a bear hug
No shirt upon his chest
Now I hear the last explosion
Sounding from the Pacific Ocean
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight
Now the cops search the wreck for some alcohol
And they cordoned off the site
Tortured by demons he could not escape
Just don't react if you'd like to stay safe
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight
I met him at Walgreens, wearing yoga pants
I asked if he was ADD, he said he had Tourette's
His type couldn't have existed in the 20th century
He figured out how to save the world, yes
Make all your mistakes on purpose
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight
Now the cops search the wreck for some alcohol
And they cordoned off the site
Tortured by demons he could not escape
Just don't react if you'd like to stay safe
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight
It meant so much to him we were on his side
But Johnny Clash got kicked around the block a couple times
If you think people give a damn, you were wrong
Johnny, so long
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight
Now the cops search the wreck for some alcohol
And they cordoned off the site
Tortured by demons he could not escape
Just don't react if you'd like to stay safe
Johnny Clash drove his black C250
When he went out looking for a fight

Pikus, who had engineered demos for Wax the previous year, was enlisted to engineer Weezer's third demo tape (also known as "The Real Demo") in early November of 1992. According to Pikus, Weezer was unable to pay him in cash (an estimated $200 amount) and instead paid him with a pair of stereo speakers. Pikus mixed the album with Matt Sharp until early in the morning. The tape was then mastered by Alan Yoshida for free, as a favor to Pikus.

Jonas

This page is about the character. For the Blue Album track, see "My Name Is Jonas".
Captain Jonas is the lead character from Songs from the Black Hole. He was originally going to be played by Rivers Cuomo. This Jonas is not confirmed to share any connection to the song "My Name Is Jonas".
==Biography==
Jonas is a shy, timid and somewhat pessimistic top graduate from the Star Corps Academy. He is also somewhat lustful, but quick to be ashamed of his lust. Jonas is the captain of the ship in SFTBH. Jonas is a metaphor for the side of Rivers who was uncertain and upset with the way his rock star life was unfolding. On May 10, 2126, Jonas took off on the ship Betsy II with shipmates Wuan, Dondó, mechanoid M1, Maria, and his former lover and cook Laurel. This event is chronicled in "Blast Off!".
Jonas is somewhat promiscuous. He goes to Maria's house, sniffs glue with her and then has sex with her. This is chronicled in the song "Come to My Pod". Later, Jonas is embarrassed and flees - illustrating his personality. When Jonas finally meets Laurel, he falls for her. Jonas also has a daughter with Maria. It is unknown what becomes of Jonas, as SFTBH was never finished nor released.
