  • Brian Wilson talks about The Lucky Old Sun (a Narrative), which premieres Monday at London's Royal Festival Hall:

    "Something just got into me. I wrote 18 songs last summer. When it rains it pours and I put my buckets out and caught everything I could. You want song titles? Well, one's called 'Mexican Girl' and one's called 'Oxygen to the Brain'. One's called 'California Roll' and another one's called 'The Good Kind of Love'. It's crazy lyrics and crazy narration, just little stories about my day. You remember Smile? When you hear the new song cycle it's a teeny bit like that."

  • The fortieth anniversary of the Summer of Love drew to its inevitable wistful conclusion Sunday in San Francisco with a free concert for 40,000 fans in Golden Gate Park. Scheduled performers included various incarnations of Moby Grape, Taj Mahal, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Canned Heat, Dan Hicks and Hot Licks, and the Charlatans.

  • Hello. That's the theme of the first show of the second season of DJ Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour," which begins September 19 at 10 p.m. on XM satellite radio's Deep Tracks channel. Expect John Prine's "Hello in There," the Mardi Gras Loungers' "Hello, Mello Baby," and other swinging salutations.

  • Know what's the "little special touch" that makes Paul McCartney's mashed potatoes so fab? Chopped onion.

  • Jazz/r&b/pop stars D'Angelo, Corinne Bailey Rae, Anthony Hamilton, and "possibly Justin Timberlake" will lend their youthful vigor to Al Green's next album, due in the spring. Hip-hop drummer ?uestlove, of the Roots, will produce.
