Music: Dwight from “The Office” came up with Weezer’s new album title

  • He has a super-rock persona. When it came time to find a title for the Weezer album, I asked him what he thought the ultimate album title would be and he said ‘Raditude.’
  • Weezer frontman RIvers Cuomo • Discussing Rainn Wilson’s role in creating the kinda-lame, kinda awesome title for “Raditude,” the next mediocre album from Weezer. We can see this title working if Rainn Wilson is saying it. But nobody else. • source

Culture, World: Dwight from “The Office” speaks out on his Baha’i faith

  • About the faith Rainn Wilson is a member of the Baha’i faith, a monotheistic religion which started in Iran in the mid 1800s. As places to start religions go, Iran is a pretty bad one, and much religious persecution has occurred there since. It’s probably worse than anything Dwight puts up with.
  • Why he’s speaking out Wilson, in a commentary piece he wrote for CNN, is bringing light to the religion in part because of a group of seven prisoners being held in Iran on a variety of charges he says lack evidence – just the latest to be persecuted by Iran.
