I remember reading that here too.

I think too Carl's death had something to do with it.
One thing that stuck with me...I once read on this board that there's a (possibly apocryphal) story that relatively recently Brian was with some friends, just laughing and cutting up. Brian noticed a certain person came in, supposedly said something like 'Okay, time to go be "Brian Wilson" again' and immediately turn back into the Brian we're used to for the past decade. I don't remember who posted that (or if it was even here), but that kind of stuck with me.
I don't recall reading that (would love to see the original thread if it was indeed posted here), but that's incredibly sad. Wonder if he puts on his current persona sometimes for personal amusement. Of course, he's entitled to act however he wants to act, but you'd love to see him open up and give more than monosybillac answers to certain interviewers and fans.
(in the 1997 interview posted above, he has a very Carl-like quality to him that you rarely hear during interviews).
SMiLE Brian:
I think he partly does it because he was burned by the media promoting how messed up he was.

Brian... people claim he's manipulated by those around him, and always has been, and that's undeniable, at times in the past. But, he's also no mean manipulator in his own right, and that includes the put-on. He's been doing it for years and he's damn good at it, be it for his own amusement or because he finds a given situation - say, interviews or a gathering where he really doesn't want to be - tedious. Partly defense mechanism, partly for the yucks. And the man has the most awesome poker face.
And of course, there are the bad days when it's not a put-on. That's the really sad thing.
