New Rolling Stone Article

[Tim Wilford]

It appears the new Rolling Stone will have an article titled "A Beach Boy looks back in anger"  I have only seen the new cover with Chris Martin of Coldplay and you can see this article listed on the cover.  I have not found any detail or links to the article.   
Has anyone else found any information?  Likely an article about Mike Love's book?

The Beach Boys and Black Sabbath articles in Rolling Stone?   

How did the hipsters over there let that happen?

Hipsters practically worship the Beach Boys, and Rolling Stone is about as mainstream as you can get.

Well at least the hipsters are right about the Beach Boys.......and some craft beer.

myKe luHv angry? About what? Hey myKe, guess your good old TM isn't as good as you profess, huh? Well, well, well, just another lie from the luHvster. Tell me, how in the hell can this ungrateful clown be anything but so damn glad he was Brian's first cousin?? Check out your portfolio and bank balance sometime you ingrate.

Exactly, for a man who has everything (loving family, money, touring unit, and much more) Mike Love is one miserable guy. Old age hasn't mellowed his anger at all.

Lets hypothesis how this article could be positive...

I will start..
RS- Why are you angry?
Mike- I am just angry with myself, I probably should have given Brian more freedom at times, I guess. Look I love TM and I am Mr Positivity, but sometimes I was a real fucking prick to Cousin Bri.

I have a feeling Mike may finally let us know who came up with the lyrics to Good Vibrations and California Girls.
He may even give some insight into the inspiration for Back in The USSR. That will be great to hear, but I still want to hear Bill Jackson's side of the events that led to Do It Again.

This is defo Mike in the feature? Where does it say that?

Not Brian moaning about C50 ending, Al lamenting the loss of his pony tail or Bruce venting about Rendezvous not being a bigger hit?  Maybe Dave's vexed about the ingredients of Cheetos.

Or is the Mike link more than assumption?

[HeyJude]

I'd guess if it was about Brian, they'd have probably put his name in the cover blurb.

If I had to bet on it, I'd guess probably Mike with maybe a slim chance of it being Al (if this issue was from ten years ago, I'd say it was a stronger possibility of being Al).

If this article is as insightful and has the sort of access that Jason Fine's 2012 reunion article did, it could be a really good article.

I'm curious if it's at all possible that this is a reiteration of the recent "Record Collector" piece on Mike, and/or a repurposing of the Mike interview done for that article.

Good call, I bet that's it - though I'd be surprised if RC has scooped RS!

Rolling Stone... the "music" magazine than when one of the greatest band ever reunited with new album and world tour... opted for Charlie Sheen and his rehab on the cover...

[Sheriff John Stone]

Because it says "A Beach Boy Looks Back..." I would think it is Mike Love because he IS a Beach Boy. Brian Wilson isn't a Beach Boy and neither is Al Jardine. I'd be surprised if Bruce would be the one looking back...

It's the ghosts of Dennis and Carl...they had a séance and they are pissed..

Rolling Stone doesn't consider itself a music magazine; perhaps others ought not, either. Maybe it did once (though I'd say not exclusively), but its website homepage title text is pretty clear: Rolling Stone - Music, Movies, TV, Politics, Country, and Culture. It could be abbreviated to Rolling Stone: American Mainstream Culture. That's what it has been my entire adult life, anyway.

Sounds like a play off his album, "Looking Back with Love". Mr. Positivity is back in action.

[bb4ever]

Could it be an article on David Marks?  Angry at himself for quitting the band?

[joshferrell]

It's Jimmy Nichols....no wait that's the Beatles...

As per usual, SJS stirring the pot for Mike.  But I'm less interested in his transparent motives than I am in the accuracy of his statement.  It has been my understanding that Mike's exclusive use of the Beach Boys name is for touring purposes only and that, legally, Brian is as much a Beach Boy as Mike in every other regard: royalties, recording, etc.  If this is the case then to say Mike is a Beach Boy and Brian is not is factually incorrect.

Can anyone who knows clarify?  Andrew?
