Unless the interview has already been done, I'd seriously recommend reading through Rocky's previous posts on this board, followed by Ron's posts on this board:

All of Rocky's posts:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=9448;sa=showPosts

Ron's thread on the book:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,26232.0.html

The only question that needs to be asked - of Rocky, not Ron - is why Rocky did literally a 180 degree shift in narrative, tone, and focus from the time he was shopping and posting his original manuscripts to the time he connected with Ron and the publisher to get the book published. He and others posted excerpts from his original manuscript, yet when the book came out the narrative had been completely flipped.

I guess a follow-up question may be in order too: Do we believe the original Rocky who was posting excerpts and comments here, or the Rocky who worked with Ron a few years later?

Some of us (including yours truly) tried to shamelessly egg Rocky on in hopes of getting a few more slip-ups of the real dynamic between the Love brothers and the 90s lawsuits, but it appears that someone got hold of Rocky and whispered the right "sweet nothing" into his ear.

Seems to me that Marty T. should consider setting aside the plans to interview Rocky and focus instead on Don Goldberg, whose memoir is a lot more revealing about a more interesting (and poignant) time in BBs history. Being reminded about how Brian was "handled" by this procession of goons is unseemly and depressing at best.

Seriously, it ain’t me interviewing Rocky.  No idea who is actually doing the interview.  Seems a strange time to be talking to Mr Pamplin,  he’s not exactly a hot topic currently (was he EVER?)

The large majority of people surrounding Brian were really committed to have something to sell to benefit themselves. Maybe do a little research and listen to the people who loved him and didn't cash in. Just a thought.

Why she should be here? What's the interest in pampy? Why care about some random tool's interview?

The only relevant question to ask at this point is why did Rocky change his tune in a matter of a few years. At least in my opinion. When you get two completely different versions on paper of the same story from the same eyewitness, one of the versions isn't true. It's that simple.

I heard this announced by Michael Shelley on his show Saturday (11am - 1pm on WFMU 91.1 in the NYC area -- just about the greatest radio station ever -- I donate for the record).  Michael is smart, hip (but little if any snark) , grounded and a terrific interviewer.   He regularly plays off the beaten track Beach Boys (he hit hard on "Sunshine Tomorrow" last year) among tons of other great to interesting tracks.  If you check his page on the WFMU website you'll see a very eclectic list of (great) interviews which include greats like Jonathan Richman, John Sebastian, Nick Lowe -- and  Mike Love!

I'm tuned in -- Michael is playing the backing track to "We're Together Again" -- earlier "Guess I'm Done" sessions, alternate "Here Today," "You're So Good to Me" -- for all you cynics....

Picturing Brian pouring 10 tablespoons of coffee grounds into a glass, mixing it with hot water from the sink, chugging it, then sitting on the couch panting afterwards is a sad thing to think about.

Great questions being asked though.

If I were to tell stories from 45 years ago or so it would be my version plus the filter of time.  Not putting Rocky up for sainthood but he makes some points.  His coauthor does seem a bit of a putz however.

And it dropped at 12:24pm, EST...that's all we get.  Roll Eyes

According to Ron, it came down to two "camps" having their take on events, and his assertion that Mike was the savior of the band and how much respect Rocky had for Mike Love was something Ron got out of Rocky...no mention at all of Rocky's previous comments and feelings toward Mike and his actions which appeared here and elsewhere (see the links above to read all of Rocky's previous posts) being in direct contradiction to what Ron is saying now, as current as the final 2 minutes of the interview.

Ron and Rocky can still post here any time they wish. The contradiction is there for everyone to read and hear.

I agree: Rocky makes some good points and yes, I can see his perspective on the whole deal to the point where the interview stopped in terms of the full history. You have 25 minutes, you can't expand all that much. But I agree, Rocky did state his perspective in a clear way, and he did make some points. However, it's the blatant contradictions in what Rocky said when he had a working book manuscript versus what his book says after he connected with co-author Ron that makes it so obvious. I see more of Ron in the new narrative than I do Rocky, especially when both sides can be read on demand. That is frustrating.

BTW - WFMU is indeed a terrific station. Being old-fashioned myself, I enjoy tuning in radio stations during road trips versus streaming or satellite. I have some great memories of "finding" WFMU in the various rental cars as I drove up the east coast. It was like a beacon of cool, not to sound cheesy.  LOL  But I found a new go-to stream during the day, second to my own home station WXPN. Highly recommend both of them for people looking for some great broadcast radio. Thanks for letting all of us know!
