Ask the Pied Piper what he prefers. He is pied after all.

Brian is welcome to join our cake club.

Thanks Brian!

Hi, Brian!

Blondie Chaplin did a great job in Vegas when you played there in December and I am very glad to see you two back together!  

Question: Will you and Blondie work together more in the future? It would rock.

Surf's up, Robert!

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO OBJECTIFIED

It hurts a lot. Deep inside.

I've researched Brian's ancestry for several years. Got it back - at least one branch - to England in the 11th century: John Chetwode, born 1082. His distant descendant, Green Lee Chitwood (1818-1888) was Brian's great-great grandfather

One ancestor died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513: Thomas Maisterson, born 1465 in Nantwich, Cheshire.

Of Brian's 16 great-grandparents, the breakdown of birthplaces are:

US - 6 (OH 2, TN 2, NY 2)
Sweden - 3
Holland - 2
Germany/Prussia - 2
Norway - 1
Canada - 1
Ireland - 1

I wrote about Brian's Swedish ancestors here: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,3775.msg350524.html#msg350524

I would like to see more of a Dick Cavett (David Frost for you Brits) than a Conan Brian vibe.

But ultimately it'll just be exactly what it is:  a callow fan-board Q&A...with very little A.

Umadbro?

The very first rage quit:

Some time ago I ordered a so called crowd review on Reverbnation.com. 100 listeners rated the song and more people liked it than disliked it:



Some of the comments:



If you have written a song do not hesitate to have it reviewed, people's opinions are interesting to say the least.

I have not much to add but I just wanna point out the only way you can be sure to sell a million units... in January... is by releasing the album. And you claim they did not wanna release the album? Then why promote it?

I believe ‘Smile’ wasn’t completed because of objections to it by both Mike Love and the record company, which refused to release it, even if it was completed. I agree with that decision. The music, and the lyrics written by VDP were great, but Brian’s contributions were ludicrous. I mean, “…I gotta eat my vege-tables.” Indeed…

How did Van Dyke feel about Brian's ludicrous contributions back in the day?

Um... correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Van Dyke write those lyrics... and didn't Brian never write his own lyrics ?  

Seconded, AGD. This Daro canonization is getting weirder and weirder.

Loren, do you suffer from (or do you suspect you suffer from) any mental conditions? Like psychopathy, sociopathy et cetera?

Okay, so, brass tacks -- is the Q&A going to be in this thread, the existing "ask a question" one, or a brand-new thread for that purpose?  Just so I'm not floundering around going "huh, where" at 11AM sharp...

Cheers,
Jon Blum

Am I the only one thinking it might be more than a coincidence that Mike admits he reads Smiley Smile then Brian posts here a few days later?

Now Mike has the chance to ask Brian a question. 

Was Student Demonstration Time, as some ancient aliens theorists believe, written by extraterrestrials?

I like Brian Wilson.

I will give it a shot:

When I'm behind the wheel
Horses of gas and steel
The highway is my home
When on the road we roam, we roam, roam

Fantasy car a shining Corvette
Let's take a ride you won't forget
Come on pretty baby ride with me

In my car I am the captain of my destiny
In my car come pretty babe and cruise with me
And we'll take a ride feeling alive

Of fiber glass and chrome

Nailed it.

Hi, Brian!

Glad you joined Smiley Smile. No Pier Pressure will rock the boat. We love your stuff here.

/All the best, Robert from Sweden

And that, my friends, is the very last post you will EVER see of this asshat. I don't care if somebody spams my PM box begging for his/her/it to be reinstated. It will NEVER happen. KittyKat is now at the bottom of the litter box and will never return.

Edit-

In case anyone asks, KittyKat's banning has nothing to do with being critical of Brian*; he/she/it has been asking for it for well over a year now (literally...I've never had anybody *dare* me to ban them before). It's one thing to have an opinion. It's another to actively try to start sh*t, like this feral freak has done pretty much since registration. This was more along the lines of a 'last straw' type of deal.

I second this decision. Completely.

Agreed all around.

This is not Nam, Kittykat. It's Smiley Smile, there are rules.

Mike Love will NEVER be as cool as the Epic Sax Guy, Sergey Stepanov, from Moldova:

Wonderful post, Peter.

Mujan, the reason I got confused is I see Kittykat as a she, not a he.

Great guy, that Ray Lawlor, violating Brian's doctor/patient confidentiality issues and his privacy. Oh, but he's a well-paid aviation executive with enough time and money to go around chasing after his so-called friend. The friend who no longer apparently speaks to either David Leaf or Van Dyke Parks, for whatever reasons (wonder what happened to those relationships of Brian's). Every time Ray comes on to a thread, a chill comes over and everyone starts talking about beer. Whatever. I guess I have an agenda. He reminds me of Frank Lima, a sycophant of Ray Davies who follows Ray around on various tours and has lunch and dinner with him. Frank also participates in Kinks message boards, but at least he's nice to fans and doesn't try to be high-handed and try to set the record straight. As if he'd know, because he doesn't.

I'm waiting for Mike Love to send me a check. Because every time someone says something vaguely critical of Team Wilson or his friends (who for all anyone knows may have been sent here by Melinda, in exchange for continued access to Brian, or they did it on their own with that thinking in mind), people are accused of being closepersonafriends of Mike Love. Flame away.

I am not even gonna flesh this out, but here are some bullet points:

- Ray is a great guy.
- What parts of Ray's post are confidential?
- Ray is not "chasing after his so-called friend", he is hanging out with and supporting his friend.
- Friendships come and friendships go, the circle of our social lives.
- People like beer.
- Yes, you have an agenda and you act like the human version of SiP.

[Conservatorship in California]

Thanks Ray. Seems my understanding of the requirements to be a conservator is lacking.

There is always Google.

Conservatorship in California (http://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-conservatorship.htm)

There are a number of people who can file for a conservatorship:

The spouse or domestic partner of the proposed conservatee;
A relative of the proposed conservatee;
Any interested state or local entity or agency;
Any other interested person or friend of the proposed conservatee; and
The proposed conservatee, himself or herself.

In appointing a conservator, the court is guided by the best interests of the conservatee. If the proposed conservatee has nominated someone (and the proposed conservatee has the mental and physical ability to express his or her preference), the court will appoint that person as conservator unless it is NOT in the proposed conservatee’s best interests.

If the proposed conservatee has not or cannot nominate anyone, the law provides a list of preferences that the court generally follows when the court determines whether all these persons are qualified to serve as a conservator.

The order of preference is:
Spouse or domestic partner
Adult child
Parent
Sibling
Any other person the law says is okay
