Title: get your mind out of the gutter Post by: halblaineisgood on February 10, 2015, 01:41:47 AM it's about taking sedatives during a plane ride- and the excellent mix these sedatives make with the previous night's amphetamines. Also, it's about honkin' down the air highway.

Also, it's about honkin' down the (air) highway. Nice observations, this is what the twofer liner notes should have read like. Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Quzi on February 10, 2015, 02:36:54 AM Still think "honking down the highway" is an allusion to ejaculation also, especially with Al taking it "one inch at a time" and all.
Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: phirnis on February 10, 2015, 03:41:04 AM Another intriguing case is Roller Skating Child. According to Brian it is "a vision of someone that could rollerskate and would like to rollerskate". Makes perfect sense to me!

Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: schiaffino on February 10, 2015, 10:44:50 AM Some funny stuff in this thread :lol
I agree that HDTH has obvious sexual connotations, Brian is a genius in making it all sound cool and laid-back. Now a couple of questions I've always had:

If Brian is scared to fly, he's sure not showing it with his latest Facebook posts coming home from Germany Perhaps you can start a Kickstarter fund to pay for the Album compilation/ fund a tour( since half his crowd won't go, as they claim to hate Love You; LOSERS!!! All of them ) Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: rab2591 on February 10, 2015, 10:55:16 AM Some funny stuff in this thread :lol I agree that HDTH has obvious sexual connotations, Brian is a genius in making it all sound cool and laid-back.

Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: ForHerCryingSoul on February 10, 2015, 03:08:13 PM
Or maybe I'm completely wrong about his fear of flying and his freak-out was due to other issues. ??? Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Michael Edward Osbourne on February 10, 2015, 03:32:53 PM Weird thread. :P

Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 12, 2015, 10:40:26 AM Now a couple of questions I've always had:
And who has ever said Brian was afraid of flying, aside from you ? He had a breakdown on a plane in flight, true, but that was nothing to do with the act of flying. The lack of basic BB knowledge on this board dismays me sometimes.

The lack of basic BB knowledge on this board dismays me sometimes. Who has ever said this? Jon Stebbins The Beach Boys FAQ Chapter 12, first paragraph e-book version Surely I am not the only one who wants to know if this is fact or fiction. We thrive on getting trivia clarified here so I'm asking? As I asked on the locked thread....As I don't have this Stebbins book, what is the exact wording? Was it from a Brian interview or an opinion? 'Fear of flying' and 'not liking flying' are two different things. As AGD says...What it was isn't what you thought it is, because it is what it is, because you claim so, because you confirm it, because you insist that it is what it is. And therefore, it ain't what it ain't. So the wording in Jons book please. Anyone? Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Please delete my account on February 14, 2015, 02:59:53 AM The link to the exact wording is provided by Cincinnati Kid in the locked thread.
It's a bit ambiguous as to whether Stebbins himself believes it. Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 14, 2015, 06:38:32 AM To respond here...
I don't monitor this place 24/7: I work and contrary to popular belief, I do have a life, or something closely resembling one. Thus, if I don't respond straight away, I'm not ignoring you, unless the post and/or the poster require ignoring. Further, the currently locked thread could and should have been a PM, but of course that wouldn't have any success in trying to make me look petty or foolish (and here's a hint for the future: you're trying too hard - wait a while and I'll do it for you, with much more effect and panache). So, had you sent me a PM with the info about Jon's book, I'd have said in (private) response what I'm saying here: thanks for that and I stand corrected. Not read that book for over four years. That said, Brian evidently got over his dislike of flying sometime after 1964, and in any event, it wouldn't automatically disqualify him from writing about the topic, nor does it in any slightest way indicate the song is actually about an acid trip. Final observation: if you think I was being aggressive in my reply, I'm guessing you've not been reading this board that long. ;D Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Pretty Funky on February 14, 2015, 09:58:34 AM The link to the exact wording is provided by Cincinnati Kid in the locked thread.

Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Pretty Funky on February 14, 2015, 10:24:21 AM Thanks. Is there are source?
Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Please delete my account on February 14, 2015, 10:31:17 AM I got that from the physical book. As Schaffino says, it's at the start of chapter 12.
Title: Re: Airplane is about two lovers coming down from an acid trip Post by: Pretty Funky on February 14, 2015, 10:35:28 AM I guess I mean is the list from a doctor treating Brian at the time, family or associate's or even Landy?
