With the couple of good recent interviews posted here recently, it got me thinking.  If you had the chance to ask Brian one question and one question only, what would it be?  I'll start:

"Brian, you have stated that when you write a song, you hear the different vocal parts in your mind.  When you write a song today, do you still hear the voices of  Mike, Carl, Al and Dennis in your mind, or do you just hear the various ranges?"

As best as you can remember, what the closest final sequence for SMiLE in 1967 (i.e. What was the opener, closer, The Elements, etc.)?

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.

First question that comes to mind:

Looking back, who would you rather have been in this life: Brian Wilson, or some average Joe who never acchieved anything noteworthy but has always been happy?

Can you get me all the Smile era acetates in your and Marilyn's possession and play them for me, and sing the vocals over  the top of the instrumental tracks?

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

"Would you consider putting out the long awaited SMiLE box set if the proceeds went to charity?"

Following up on my question, I think it would be fun if somebody did a real in-depth interview on food with Brian. Next to music, food seems to be one of biggest loves. There's probably a lot of weird things you could learn indirectly through food-related anecdotes...
