Intriguing Weezer/Beach Boys similarities: “Pet Sounds was released in 1966, Pinkerton in 1996. Both albums were not commercially successful and dismissed by fans of the bands’ earlier works. After many years, both albums have grown in stature to the point where they’re considered each band’s best album. And both titles are 9 letters long and start with “P.” Both albums have Japanese women on the back covers.”

This makes the Kennedy/Lincoln thing seem credible.
