Kinda depressing, of course, but essential listening nonetheless.  Now we know the title of ANOTHER unreleased Brian Wilson song!  Smiley

Really good. Maybe a little over-the-top, but also sort of emotional.

No need - just go to the BBC website, to the Radio 2 section - it's up for a week on 'Listen Again'.

It's really great that they did something like that for Dennis (though it did make me cry), you would think the US stations would finally get a clue Roll Eyes

And we know that Dennis wrote more songs that he wasn't given credit for (like YASB). Any ideas which songs these might be?

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.

Finally got a chance to listen to this; thanks, Jon, for bringing it to our attention. I thought it was excellent. While it did succeed in bringing attention to Dennis's talents, it was incredibly sad. Maybe tragic is a better word. Of course, I/we already knew the stories, but the list of casualities are, well, it's a tragedy. Dennis, Karen Lamm-Wilson, Shawn Wilson, Murry (he died at only age 55), Brian's story, Carl's early passing, Manson....damn, what an incredible story.

Thank you for posting this. 

It was thorough, and the interviews were heartfelt.  It was the first I'd heard of a suspected embolism.

That was an excellent "programme". Leave it to English radio to do a thorough, evocative bio
like this. Bravo!

It was chilling to hear that he got a letter from Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme while he was living
with Christine McVie saying that Manson was "watching him", and sad to hear Barbara Charren
saying with such mournful certitude that his brief association with Manson was one of the two decisive factors in his decline.

What a damn shame that they had to meet and become enmeshed together. What a waste.
I try to be thankful for what he did do, who he was and the legacy he left. Smiley Cry
