M ike Love bounds up the stairs inside his massive Lake Tahoe home (10 bedrooms in all, 12 bathrooms, two elevators, not to be believed) and into a large walk-in closet stuffed to overflowing with garish, multicolored shirts and a gazillion baseball caps, many of them emblazoned with the name of his band, the Beach Boys . A suitcase rests on the floor. Love nods at it, prods it with his foot. “A lot more shirts are in there,” he says, “because, if you must know, I haven’t unpacked.” And why should he unpack? For the past 54 years, he and various versions of the Beach Boys , which these days include only him as an original member, have toured almost constantly. On his current outing, he has 172 dates lined up, cramming 19 European shows into 22 days this past December, for instance, and shortly thereafter flying back stateside to give the 6,500 citizens of tiny Avon, Colorado, the chance to hear all about California girls. From there, it’s onward, evermore, venues big and small, … [Read more...] about The Ballad of Mike Love

Check Out Music From the Underground – Literally – At The Caverns
Throughout history, humans have relied on music to carry stories and bring people together. So Rolling Stone and Can-Am are embarking on a road trip to spotlight the artists, venues, and recording studios keeping the storytelling legacy alive today. We’re calling the project Common Tread. Join us as we explore the people and places that bridge the divide between music’s past and future. Fourteen years ago Todd Mayo took his first cave tour. Midway through, he raised his hand with a question: “Ya’ll play loud music down here?” No, said the guide, they did not. But she assured him it was a great idea. “Damn right,” replied Mayo.

Telluride Film Festival Announces Lineup Despite Cancellation Of This Year’s Labor Day Weekend Event
Following in the footsteps of Cannes, which was forced to cancel its famous film festival in May but still went on to reveal what its schedule would have been anyway, the Telluride Film Festival on Monday released its own lineup. The films would have been presented over Labor Day weekend September 3-7, but the fest was canceled last month after trying to hang on for some version of its former self in light of the pandemic. Similar to what other fests have programmed such as Kate Winslet -starrer Ammonite, Idris Elba in Concrete Cowboys and director Chloe Zhao’s Nomadland starring Frances McDormand , the list is similar to the eclectic, film-centric nature of Telluride minus some of the starrier Oscar campaign-driven films that have put the fest on the must-stop list for Academy Award hopefuls for much of this century.

While Wanda's storyline may or may not include a hero-turned-villain plot in the future, if Marvel Studios is once again going for twisting the comicbook storylines, especially Vision's, we might already have an Avenger who won't be fighting for what's right anymore. RELATED: WandaVision Fans Think Elizabeth Olsen Deserves All the Emmys After Last Night's Episode Wanda never stole the Vision's body The suspicions we reserved for SWORD's acting director, Tyler Hayward, are … [Read more...] about WandaVision Episode 8 Shocking Mid-Credits and Its Future Implications Explained
