[“Big Daddy”]

A quote from Andrew Sandoval during his appearance on The Best Show (around the 1:10:00 mark): “I’ve got a friend who works for Brian Wilson and he said ‘Hey Brian. I’m going to see the Monkees tonight. My friend Andrew got me some tickets. Do you want to go?’ And he said ‘No. But could you buy me a hot dog?’”

Was looking on youtube and saw this in the comments:

I was working at Tower Records in the early 80's when Brian Wilson walked in in his bathrobe, wielding a Darth Vader toy sword & wacked a woman in her butt ! Her boy friend exploded: we told him it was Brian Wilson . He said "wow" & walked out with Brian's autograph! Love those days ....

I posted this in the media section of the board but had to post it here as well, sorry.


Fascinating interview, even if a little strange. Great moment at 33:15 mins.

Q: "Is there a piece of music that you could play that makes you very spiritual? Something that you really like to play, that means something to you."
- Brian turns to the piano, lays his hands on the keyboard and says: "No. Actually not." And turns away from the piano.    "But I'll play something." He then proceeds to play "Shortnin' bread"  

Not to mention 56:00, Brian to Elvis Costello:
"Clickety-clack goes the Bacharach"


Also a couple of nice words about Blondie, Ricky and The Flame at the end of the first video.


From The Bob Hanes Collection - Brian Wilson Documentary Raw Footage - Brian w Elvis Costello

Brian talks about everything from rock and roll to God. No not Phil Spector although Brian talks about him a lot. He pretty much bares his soul in this interview and is very candid. I love seeing Brian so talkative. this also includes a portion of an interview Brian did for KROQ in Sacramento.

What year is it from?

[Matt H]

What year is it from?

I think it is from 1998, and excerpts of it were used in the Imagination documentary.

[Rocker]

He also gets asked about Rodney Bingenheimer, so I guess from whenever the movie about Rodney was made. Also Brian talks about "Saturday morning in the city". Was that worked on during the Imagination sessions? I seem to remember something like that.

[Jay]

That Bob Hanes collection is a goldmine.

First half seemed like a typical Brian interview...but look at how he came alive once the interview was over (“hallelujah “, he said lol), and once he met Elvis Costello. Hell at one point it was almost like Brian was interviewing Costello at times. Instant chemistry and now kind of wish they’d worked together

[Joel Goldenberg]

"And the more we listened the more we learned you know. And then along comes Chuck Berry and Mike Love and Jan&Dean and the whole creation of Rock'n'Roll...."

Re-watching that interview right now as well.  Mike must have really soaked that one up.

My favorite part of that interview is at 14:10 when Bruce says part of the backing vocals for I Just Wasn't Made For These Times (IIRC) was in Spanish. Al says "what do you mean Spanish?" Then Brian sings that very part and Al says "I'll be a son of a gun, c'mon, you're putting me on!." Bruce then says Al "must have been putting money in the meter for your car." And Brian's there, pokerfaced.

Speaking of which....this article written [or dictated?] by Brian back from the time IS JUST ONE GIANT F**KING BRIANISM:

Well, you know....



Jardine tells a story about the other day, when he went to his basement and put a Chuck Berry 78 on the jukebox. Soon, he’d picked up his bass and was playing along. “I suddenly I felt like I was on the road again. It was the best feeling. So I called Brian right away. And I said, ‘You won’t believe this.’ I said, ‘It was just like the old days, when we were all playing together.’

“And there was this long silence,” says Jardine. “And then Brian says, ‘I gotta go now.’” Jardine laughs. “And that’s okay. Because at least we connected, you know? It was nice to be able to call my old friend and partner and share that.”

Poor Al. Bless him for choosing to interpret that situation *not* as a blow-off.

"That's all about a girl who had to use falsies. Y'know - false breasts."

[Love Thang]

My favorite Brianism is during the 25 Year concert in Hawaii when Brian waved at Ray Charles. Pure comedy gold right there.

[37!ws]

I had to watch that...because I thought you were making that up or repeating a falsehood or something...but sure as crap, yes, he did! Right after the performance!

Someone I really feel not comfortable naming once told a story about going up to Ray's hotel room with him. Obviously, he didn't turn the lights on. But he went into the bathroom. Again, no lights. (Duh!) "Ray, what are you doing in there?" "Shaving." [inner thoughts: "DO NOT SAY IT. DO NOT SAY IT."] "How in the world can you shave in the dark?" [inner thoughts: "YOU IDIOT."]
