Think of all the hilarious anecdotes you've read over the years and imagine them being played out on the big screen. the Brian/Elvis meeting; "The Karate Chop Incident"..."I told you not to do that".......Having Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper singing shortenin bread over and over...well, maybe there's just those two. Huh. I didn't think this over very well. Well, the elvis incident at least....I laugh hysterically just thinking about that.

I'd love to see that incident with some guy from the Eagles I believe. He asked Brian for an autograph, Brian wrote "To a great songwriter", then thought about it and crossed the word "great" out and wrote "good" instead of it.  Grin

Also I would love to see the "pre-recorded answer"-thing when he went to Capitol-meetings, as was already used on "An american family".

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I remember hearing about that; didn't know it was someone from the Eagles.  I laughed out loud just picturing Brian writing "thanks for all the great songs", then crossing it out and writing "good" instead.  I just found that absolutely hilarious.

The recent meeting of Brian & Bono should be included too!  Shocked
 
Heck, it could be a 1/2 hour weekly sitcom!

Something like "Oh, those Wilsons" ? Maybe Dennis could make a guest-spot and drive Mr Wilson crazy... Cheesy

I'm of the school of thought that states Brian should've beaten Ozzy Osbourne to the punch and have a "Wilsons" reality show.

I read that in an 'Apocryphal Rock'n'Roll stories' booklet accompanying the NME from about 1992ish, in that the story was attributed to the lead singer of The Wonder Stuff (early 90s crusty pop/rock band, singer was I think Miles Hunt)!

I haven't heard about this one.  What went down?  Did Brian sign for him as well?  "Thanks for all the great songs!" then cross out great and write shitty!  Actually, to be fair, U2 was good through Achtung Baby then after that they were shitty.

Went something like this:

Bono: [kneels before Brian] God bless you for all the great music you've written.

Brian: Thanks - could you get me a diet coke ?

Yeah, I'm not sure of the validity of that story; since Tom Petty didn't release his first album until 1976, he may still have been hanging around Jacksonville, Florida in '74. It's one of those stories that reads funnier than it would have played out in real life; in fact it sounds like something Woody Allen would have written in one of his short story books.

I'm sure most of you know about Peter Bagge's "Murry Wilson: Rock N' Roll Dad" episodes- but for those who don't, you can see them online at http://icebox.com/index.php?id=episode&show_id=s14&episode_id=e1&PHPSESSID=ddc8ea1d2dc19862b044cfff0ac330e2

I think the first one is the best one...

I think most of the punchlines in this slapstick comedy biopic would involve some form of food or drink.

Yes, as is one of my favorites, which is from Beautiful Dreamer.

The interviewer is talking to Brian about the imfamous tent in the living room that was used for "meetings". The interviewer asks Brian (and I'm paraphrasing), "What did you do in the tent?" And Brian simply says, "Eat sandwiches."  Cracks me up every time.  LOL
