EDIT
“It’s a strange lasagne of wonderful, mad musical moments and inexplicable talking heads (Janelle Monáe - why?) all deliciously poisoned by the seeping resentfulness of Wilson’s cousin Mike Love, who says it is unfair Wilson got all of the “genius label”.” –

“To watch The Stones and Brian Jones... is to be swept into a tornado of tall hats, long scarves, drugs, and people dreamily telling us how he turned up to the filming of one Stones television special drunk and “dressed as a wizard”.” –
