The Smiley Smile Message Board

Could ask 3 questions (now think about this carefully & no joking) What would your 3 questions be?
Mines would go like this...
1. What was the thought process for the recording of "Smiley Smile"?
2. How come songs like "Can't Wait Too Long","Lonely Days", "Sherry She Needs Me" weren't finished and released at the time they were created?
3. And lastly...Brian how do you feel about the connection the Beach Boys had to Charles Manson?

Like just posted in another thread, I'd ask them to sing at least just one short harmony into the mics

When are we going to see an official release of California Feeling 1974, WITBTLA, et al

That is all.

"Hey Brian, would you show me your hands and just let me stare at them ? wait, can i touch them?"

- the Brian has nice piano playing hands people.

1) Brian - "We went to my house and recorded it."
2) Brian - "I can't remember."
3) Brian - "I don't feel anything about that."

Brian - "Are we done?"

Brian, why are you so rude to interviewers and stare at your watch during shows? Don't you realize that the fans are the reason you have this incredible wealth and this lifestyle you enjoy?

Or rather:

3) Brian - "Who is Charles Manson?"

or

3) Brian - "Wasn't that a friend of Dennis's?"

Brian: I want to know what time it is.

What was the best concert performance the Beach Boys ever gave?  What was the worst concert experience they ever had?

Who would they most like to record a song with?

1) Brian, are you aware that people still want to hear you sing in falsetto?

2) Brian, are you aware that people still want to hear you sing in falsetto?

3) Brian, are you aware that people still want to hear you sing in falsetto?

Answer to any of those questions = Love. There's a lot of love in those harmonies.

Actually, i wonder if he has a pet, like, a cat...

I like it!

Here are my answers to these questions:

1. Smiley Smile was something else. We did that right after the Smile album which didn't come out at the time, for whatever reason. But eventually I worked real hard at it and I faced my demons and eventually I got it together and we did Smile in front of an audience. And we performed it and we put everything we had into it. And it was a momentous occasion. A really great occasion.

2. I don't know.

3. Well, that was Dennis who got into a really, sort of, far out situation. That was Dennis, my brother Dennis. He was always doing crazy things. But he had a lot of love. He had a lot of love in his heart, to give. And he was a great songwriter, wrote Forever, and lots of stuff.

If you stick almost strictly to music, and he is in the right mood, Brian will open up. Manson would shut him down FAST though.

He has a few dogs around the house.

I hope they have the   ...good vibrations!


Arhghghhg, Mike Love is taking control of meeee ahrhhghghghhhh

1. Norbit.
2. Norbit.
3. Norbit.

In Brian's (or Audree's) explanation, it's the dogs sensing the vibrations and people emitting them.  ;)

When is The Radiant Radish going to reopen?

I always thought that was a good idea for a beach boys store
