Poor Brian 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Thanks for the reminder...going to DVR it now.

Yes, I'm that much of a Brianista.

[SMiLE Brian]

Billy, you are a fan's fan!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

I'd watch a video of a masturbating goat if it had previously unheard BW material in it.











Okay, maybe not, as that'd be baaaaaaaaad. I'd listen to it with my eyes closed

[guitarfool2002]

Make it a point to watch this one.

[Ron]

I'm willing to do some fruity sh*t, but I can't bring myself to watch the View.  I can't even look at pictures of it. 

I'd watch Oprah, though. 

[guitarfool2002]

It will be worth it.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Thanks for the heads up...setting the DVR now.

If Brian and his fans have to suffer through The View, then they could at least give the movie a proper wide release.   

It's going to be sad on Monday when the box office numbers for the weekend show 'Spy' so far above 'Love and Mercy.'

Brian's previous appearance on "The View" promoting his Christmas album was one of the most painful ordeals I've ever had to witness. Luckily Melinda is with him this time to do most of the talking.

Way to keep it classy, chief.

Watch the reactions and emotions that Whoopi Goldberg had on this show as Brian's music played and she was sitting a few feet away from him, and that's it. That's the heart of it. Deep, personal feelings that wash over you through the music, that's it.

I just watched this (after suffering through the first segment with an insufferable Fox News anchor). Brian's segment was sweet. He and Melinda were interviewed by Whoopi and one of the other hosts, and they played several BB songs for the audience. Whoopi said, "The one that saved me was In My Room," so they started playing that. The camera did a closeup on Brian's face while everyone was silently listening to the song, which was somewhat awkward, but when Whoopi spoke again, she had teared up and had trouble closing the segment, having become so emotional.

Brian got a standing ovation.

I must say , as much as I dislike the view, I was impressed with Whoopi's respect for Brian's music.
She even teared up at the end of the interview which almost made me go all verklempt.

Thanks for the posts guys! Missed this segment, great to read that he was well received and all went smoothly.

Great segment!  They had the music all cued for Whoopie, who did a heartfelt job and whose response is similar to the rest of the world of BB fans...Bravo to all!

Saw a studio clip with Dano and the bobby pins in the piano soundboard for the sound effects of You Still Believe in Me...gave me a chill...

Can't wait to see the film...

Love and Mercy, indeed!  

[guitarfool2002]

I had that exact same reaction after having the chance to say "thank you" in person to the man who created all of this music that meant so much. It's overwhelming, it's emotional, and it takes over. How Whoopi reacted on the show after saying "thank you for everything" is what it's all about, that's what makes all of it special. How fortunate we are.

GREAT clip!

I get the feeling Brian would have been happy just to sit and listen to music tracks!  LOL

Oh yeah, I'm the unclassy one around here.

Brian's the fucking man, he should do more interviews like this one.  People would finally start to 'get it'. 

Also, he looks great here.  Once again i'm stunned by seeing his young self peeking out in places....

Brian sitting there Stonefaced while "In My Room" plays tells his story better than this entire movie will!

Was I right, Ron, or was I right?    This was worth watching after all.

For me the way Whoopi Goldberg got choked up with emotion after she told Brian "thank you for everything" and as the various music played was the unspoken definition of what all of this means for a lot of us who have that connection to this man's music since we were kids. I can't define it, I can only say that there is no other music that gets to me in this way like that from the mind of Brian Wilson, and what you saw happen with Whoopi on TV today as the emotions took over was *it*, that shared reaction and emotion some of us have with the music and the guy that created it. One of the best things I've seen on TV, it got personal.
