- Brian Wilson is featured performing as part of Rolling Stone and IGTV's inaugural In My Room video series. New episodes will launch Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3 p.m. EST featuring notable musicians performing at home while we're all cooped up riding out the Coronavirus pandemic. Wilson was featured in the music room of his L.A. home performing the intro to his 1963 classic “In My Room,” the Beach Boys' 1968 hit “Do It Again” along with his 1988 solo standard and longtime concert closer, “Love And Mercy.” (Rolling Stone)
- In David Crosby's latest installment of Rolling Stone's “Ask Croz” video advice column, he touched on several topics — most notably dealing with apathy in these troubling times. Crosby revealed: “I'll tell ya a scary thing; a lotta the young people I know are not planning families. A lot of kids are not really planning a future. They're not trying to get a career, they're not trying to get ahead, they're not trying to figure out their path in life — a lot them don't think we're going to make it. I see the idiocy that's going on in Washington. I see people, like, Mitch McConnell, who I would love to just turn into a turtle. This is all discouraging stuff. I'm having to work hard to keep my head above water. But, I think that's the answer. You can't really fight them if you are so discouraged that you give up. So, you have to believe that we can still do something in this world to make things better.”
