Everyone trying to contact Brian at that time was "screened", whether by phone or in person. And if you talk to people who were involved, it went far beyond screening calls with Landy's attempts to shut off outside contact with Brian unless it was strictly monitored and controlled. That's fact, and it was not a good scene. Anyone who defends Landy in this later phase of his involvement is delusional.
One of the worst instances of this was mentioned in Mike’s autobiography. Gary Usher was trying to contact Brian to let him know about his terminal illness and Landy told everyone not to let Brian know. Fortunately someone with a conscience did let Brian know, and the two of them met for a couple of times (mentioned in The Wilson Project) before Usher passed away.

The “Reinventing Elvis” documentary will be shown in select US theaters on Sunday, July 30. It’s 96 minutes long. There’s one small suburban theater about an hour away from me showing it. Strange that no theaters in New Orleans are showing it. Anyway, I probably won’t be able to go and I don’t have Paramount+ . My “Elvis freak” sister might go — if so I’ll ask her what she thought about it, etc.
Thanks for your Old Time Rockers postings.

For those with Sirius/XM access, there was a tribute to Brian on The Beatles Channel. On Demand, Way Beyond Compare:Beatles Rarities with Tom Frangione.
Songs include: A Friend Like You Wanderlust (Brian’s cover) Vegetables You Still Believe in Me -Paul said he really likes this song
Songs and commentary. Interview with Brian who was in fine form. I guess you all had heard it but it’s the first for me. He played a bit of Hey Jude, and She’s Leaving Home (which he said made Marilyn cry when she heard Paul play it).
He said that a couple of Beatles moments “scared” him -the final chord in A Day in the Life and Paul’s scream in Hey Jude.
Finished with BBs live version of Back in the USSR.

The great Jazz pianist, Ramsey Lewis, has passed away at the age of 87. He is best known for the classic “The In Crowd”. This song was played during the pool party scene in the movie Love and Mercy (indicating that Brian was becoming “cool”) RIP.

If you need any help in securing (https:) the website or updating the forum software, feel free to send me a PM. I move websites regularly between servers as it's part of my day job...do all the usual maintenance required etc to keep everything running smoothly. I would say they are generally smallish sites though and this one is huge but happy to have a look. Biggest thing for here is making sure everything is backed up before making changes. [/quote] That would be great if it could be done. Don’t like the “not secure” warnings every time I wish to check up on things here.

Grrr. Wanted to see this movie. Preoccupied with medical appointments I didn’t check our local movie theater schedule. Summer of Love had been playing - but yesterday was the last day. :-( This is a film that would be fun to see with a group of people who would get into the music, singing, clapping along … It is available for viewing on a pay service in the US - Hulu. Supposedly there is a free trial available but don’t like having to put credit card info in. I’m not good at going back and canceling before the trial period ends
