Title: Curt Boettcher makes the New York Times Post by: rn57 on August 11, 2013, 01:24:09 PM http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/11/magazine/she-told-herself-she-couldnt-die-because-she-had-to-write-his-story.html?pagewanted=all
Today's New York Times's magazine section has an article about two people you wouldn't normally expect to see written about there. The piece starts with a consideration of the music of the late Curt Boettcher....then its writer, Alexandra Molotkow, goes on to discuss how reading about old Curt and his music online led her to be fascinated by the professional and spiritual journey of that pioneer Boettcherologist-turned-theologian, Dawn Eden. It opens thus: "If his life had gone just a bit differently, Curt Boettcher might have been another Brian Wilson. Joseph Gordon-Levitt might be playing him in a modern-day biopic." Interesting casting notion for Love And Mercy, had it been a miniseries instead of a movie and could broaden the cast....

Title: Re: Curt Boettcher makes the New York Times Post by: Peter Reum on August 12, 2013, 12:36:28 PM I have generally made the effort to buy Curt and Gary's work whenver I can, and I have not regretted anything I have listened to. It can get a little insane if vinyl is the thing you are trying to fin. But the cds I have I REALLY enjoy!

Really nice guys. Sandy is as tiny as Al Jardine and has a very casual, nice-guy vibe, whereas Mike seems a little more pissed about the Music biz, but still a very friendly man.
Sandy told me he got to be at a mixing session for Good Vibes, but I didn't press him too much about exactly what it was like. Michael had a funny story about Mike Love being a dick and stepping in some dogshit circa 1968. Anyway, I'll post some pictures as soon as I remember how! Off to work....
