Beach Party

Well, better to be mentioned in Rolling Stone than not mentioned at all. Beside, the Beach Boys still rock.

This month's Rolling Stone (which my son calls the geriatric version of Spin) sports a picture of Orlando Bloom, "Hollywood's No. 1 Pretty Boy". Just to prove my son right, the initial pages are just filled with old guys: DeNiro doing an AMEX ad, Sting playing on a college tour, Springsteen out with Devils & Dust, Paul McCartney back on tour, Neil Young just out of a hospital for a brain aneurysm, an interview with a lined and haggard Robert Plant, and Elton John announcing his upcoming marriage to long-time partner David Furnish. Garbage band members managed to put aside their differences long enough to make Bleed Like Me, which has hit the Top 10. Whoda thunk? Mariah Carey's new CD, The Emancipation of Mimi, sold 600,000 copies in the first two weeks. Good Vibrations, the Broadway musical based upon the Beach Boys catalog, closed its 3-month run after savage reviews.
