Title: Brian's "lost" years Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on May 23, 2006, 01:05:06 PM Something I've been wondering for a while...
It's becoming common knowledge that Brian really starting going downhill after his father died in 1973. The question is...how much contact did the fest of the Beach Boys have with Brian from this point until Landy entered the picture? I know Carl and Dennis probably saw him on a semi-regular basis, but how about Al and Mike? Or that matter, did Brian get on with Ricky and Blondie at all? I ask this because if Mike and Al didn't really see Brian that much, it must've been a HUGE shock to the system when work on 15 BO began.
