Title: Derek Taylor's articles on Brian
Post by: Rocky Raccoon on July 22, 2013, 06:39:15 PM
I originally asked about this in the "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread but I think this does deserve its own thread because I'm really interested in reading some of Taylor's articles, especially the one excerpted in the Beautiful Dreamer documentary that starts "Brian Wilson is a genius, I think..." but I can't find any of them anywhere.  It's strange that it was Taylor's writing which had such a huge impact on Brian's public image yet I can't find anywhere on the internet where its been preserved.  Can anybody help me out with this?

Try to find a copy of his memoirs, As Time Goes By. Essential reading for the dialed-in music fan.
