http://www.houseofhere.com/brian.html "Sea Changes - Brian Wilson and the Cosmic-Baroque Doo-Wop" by Robert Lloyd L.A. Style, November 1987

http://www.mwe3.com/archive/pastfeature/featureBrianWilson1998.htm THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL - an interview with BRIAN WILSON by Robert Silverstein I luv that Silverstein asks Brian about obscure stuff like Sweet Insanity & Solar System. Brian says that his favorite cuts off SI are Rainbow Eyes & Smart Girls.

A 1991 article. http://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/style/1991/12/01/brian-wilson-and-the-angry-vibrations/17783698-814c-40fc-9a29-f0cf3fb63df3/

"It looks like I'm going to have to go bananas all by myself." -B.W.

"Dr. Landy and Brian Wilson are right out of a storybook." -Brian Wilson

"So maybe Beach Boys fans are stupid and we can dismiss the whole thing. But maybe that's a pretty snotty attitude to take; maybe something is happening here that we just ought to know about" -Paul Williams

"Brian is an enigma, a leprechaun," said rhythm guitarist Al Jardine.

"There ain't a rocketship powerfull enough to be able to blast Jeff's fat ass into space."-Mike's Beard

Yeah that 1998 interview illustrates the difficulty of interviewing Brian. The interviewer asked a lot of things i'd ask Brian-like what about "this song" and "that song", etc, etc. But though Brian can recall the songs-ultimately we lean very little. Every answer is basically saying next to nothing. So-I think that is why interviewing him is so hard-it is very hard to get him to really tell a story-though I have occasionally seen interviewers pry long answers out of him. I have lots of interviews from 1966-73 where he is very verbose-but he's younger than that now.
