Rivers Cuomo has always been an onion of irony — layer upon layer of smirking innuendo, gentle obfuscation, smarty-pants witticism, each shielding a sensitive heart. That emotional sleight of hand is what made Weezer’s “Sweater Song” and its ham-fisted metaphor of a cardigan unraveling until Cuomo, the group’s frontman and chief songwriter, is writhing on the floor in Superman skivvies, at once funny, corny, and even a little moving, and it’s what set them apart from the trenchant gloom of grunge. It’s the quality that confused fans...

John Legend and Cynthia Erivo delivered a special In Memoriam performance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, honoring the musical icons we’ve lost in the past year.
The two performed “God Only Knows,” the 1966 song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for the Beach Boys.
Though last year’s Grammy Awards occurred weeks after David Bowie’s death, the 12 months since have seen many beloved performers die, including Prince, Merle Haggard, Leonard Cohen and George Michael.

Singer/songwriter Brian Wilson, founder of The Beach Boys.
During my time at Venice Magazine I was lucky enough to meet and interview most of my heroes from the world of film. Fortune smiled on me further when a few musical idols were thrown into the mix, as well (see previously-posted chats with Lou Reed, Quincy Jones and Robbie Robertson). When I learned in October of 2002 that I was going to interview legendary Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson, I was elated. I had gotten to literally stand next to Wilson nearly a decade earlier, at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival, while he gave a private recital, just Wilson and a white Steinway, for a small gathering of people in a Park City tavern, celebrating the premiere of Don Was’ documentary "Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times," which took a candid look at Wilson’s tumultuous life.
