BREAKING — Rolling Stone Music is asking a straightforward question about identity, and the answer turns out to be more layered than a stage name. Magnus Ferrell arrives at the MTV Video Music Awards with a nomination for Best New Artist, which means his work has already separated itself from the obvious shadow of his father, the comedian Will Ferrell. The "more cowbell" reference in the headline is a wink to a two-decade-old SNL sketch, but the nomination itself suggests the younger Ferrell is building something that does not depend on nostalgia or family recognition.
