Brian is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday September 3rd.  Any guesses on what his song selection will be? 

I am going with "Good Kind of Love", though "Forever My Surfer Girl" would not surprise me.  Thr Venice Beach narrative would also be cool.

Perfect song, as to me that would be the perfect choice as Brian really rocks on that one.

Elton was probably in that funky château snorting cocaine off of a renaissance inspired ornate end table writing "Funky Cat" at the same time Brian was in his Bel Air mansion snorting cocaine off of a rubber ducky as he perfected "You Need a Mess of Help".

Yeah it is a good choice, probably the song mostly likely to catch the ear of the casual listener.

Brian sounded pretty good (except one bum note or two during the "Lucky Old Sun" intro), as did the band.  "Goin' Home" rocked just like the record.  It's like any other time Brian is on TV though...we all enjoy it, but the casual viewer who happens to catch his performance probably finds his movements to be quite bizarre and doesn't really focus on the music as a result.

Do you think casual viewers that are unfamiliar with his history notice things like that as much as we do though?

I liked it, they sounded great.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do...you don't see other performers looking that uncomfortable and making odd gestures while singing.  I could be wrong, but I just think that if you don't know his history and aren't used to seeing him perform, someone watching might find the whole thing pretty odd.

They sure did sound great though, I'll agree with you there.  Good song choice I thought.

At the end of the daily ESPN sports talk show Pardon the Interruption (PTI) , Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon always close with their reccomended t.v. viewing for the evening.  Tony reccomended "Watch the genius Brian Wilson on Jay Leno".  Michael came back with "A genius? I thought Brian Wilson was a Beach Boy". Tony replied "What?  You can't be a Beach Boy & and a genius?".  Way to go Tony!!

You can watch the complete (if you want to put yourself through that) show on nbc.com---go to the tonight show and find the date---at least that's what they said during one of the commericals last night.  I thought his performance was too short.

The band seemed a lot livelier then I have seen them before, which is a good thing Smiley

I think casual viewers would think "who the hell is this old guy? why is he acting weird? what's with the gestures and facial expressions? He's weird." But hopefully they'd listen to the song, too, because I think it's a really good one that any rock 'n' roll fan can like.

You do realise that he was introduced as a founding member of the beach boys

So there would be no 'who the hell is this old guy'

No need to come across so harsh.

Yeah, nobody could possibly come in a second after that was said, for example. Or, in the case of young viewers, think "who are the Beach Boys?" I didn't mean anything harshly. I was saying what I think most casual viewers would think. Is this the blueboard? Am I going to be chased away by threats of "Brian is reading! You're hurting his feelings!"?

I've been biting my tongue about TLOS, the album, but Brian's TV appearances cannot be rationalized.

Brian Wilson is one of the few artists, whose TV appearances, intended to promote his albums and increase sales, in reality, produces the opposite effect. I can not envision many people viewing Brian's TV performances, dating all the way back to David Lettermen in 1988, saying, "Wow, that guy's great. I'm gonna buy that CD". Or, "What a great song. I want more of that". I think the reaction is entirely the opposite, except for the "freak show" factor, which attracts some, much like Brian's re-emergence in 1976.

Brian would be best served if he did no TV publicity.
