Beach Boys Salute in L.A. Brings Three Generations of the Wilson Family Together With Friends for First Tribute Concert Since Brian’s Death

Interesting. Wasn’t there some speculation Carrie Marks was out of the picture?
Marks said it felt slightly strange taking part in a Beach Boys salute: “I told my wife, it’s kinda weird that I’m here paying tribute to myself! But I didn’t want to miss it.”

Today we laid my Daddy to rest. It was incredibly difficult to see that happen, but at the same time it gave more closure and more of a feeling of restful peace. The last eight weeks have been extremely challenging and like nothing I've ever experienced. I love and miss him so much and I wish he could come back. There's so many signs that he gives me every day and I know that he's around ...he can hear me and he can see me. He makes that apparent. I'm so grateful for this. Today we had a couple of monarch butterflies that just would not leave the site. It was comforting and beautiful. I'm trying to deal with my emotions -they're so up and down. I know that he would want everybody to feel happy and not sad. He didn't like it when I cried. I was talking with my dear friend Gunnar Nelson today who lost his Pop Ricky Nelson years ago and he reminded me that the world will have his music to sing to and remember him every single solitary day until we are all gone. This is a really special and a real heavy duty thought. It's much bigger than I can wrap my head around. For this I am grateful for though because I know it's the truth. So I just wanna say thank you... thank you Daddy for your beautiful contribution to so much happiness and real raw emotions that you have brought to people. Thank you to all the beautiful loving and supportive fans out there for honoring him. We share this together. God knows what we'd be without him. Love, Carnie ❤️🎼❤️

Just when I clicked on your post I had Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World" playing. Well, I guess Brian would've liked that one.
You did well, Brian. Thanks for everything!

Beautiful post. I had to check the date to see if it was right... it took 8 weeks to get him laid to rest?

:'( ahhh man amazing tune. Kind of in a similar vein, I had the Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World' stuck in my head a lot in the week following Brian's passing.

Yeah I'm not sure why it took so long for the burial - I wonder if it was quite an ordeal to prepare for his service (ensuring everyone was able to be there on a specific date which may explain the wait).
