Title: Today's Crypto-quote, from Brian Wilson
Post by: JimC1702 on July 25, 2011, 08:19:41 AM
Every morning at breakfast, I do the Crypto-quote in the local paper.   This morning's quote was from Brian Wilson:

"Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever."

Never came across that one before.

Which Brian Wilson -- the musician, the baseball player, or the British politician?

While it's possible Brian did say this, I think that some of the more inspirational quotes floating around the net attributed to Brian Wilson might actually be from Brian Wilson, baseball player.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wilson_%28baseball%29
Brian Wilson is famous for his beard, which has inspired his fans to chant "fear the beard" at baseball games, a chant which could well carry over to Beach Boys concerts, were Mike Love to return to his Maharishi-Beard days, or, in the case of Bruce, "fear the stache."

It dates from the 2nd Landy era, IIRC.
