What did you make of “Runaway Dancer” when it was finished?

“Runaway Dancer,” I like “Runaway Dancer,” but I don’t know. I can’t answer that question.

It kind of feels like the odd man out, especially bookended by “This Beautiful Day” and “Whatever Happened.”

Please again?

It kind of feels like the odd man out, especially bookended by “This Beautiful Day” and “Whatever Happened,” which sound more like your classic songwriting.

Are you familiar with the song “Sail Away” on my album? Yeah, that was Blondie Chaplin. He nailed it. He’s something else. He’s real good. Very, very good singer.


I found this exchange about NPP pretty interesting.  It seems pretty obvious the interviewer is not a fan of Runaway Dancer and tried to get Brian to criticize it. 

I also liked when Brian said no never wrote a bad song. 

Thanks for sharing, Filledeplage.

I love this exchange. VDP's epitaph from hell:

Q: How did his lyrical ability compare to Joe Thomas?

A: He far surpassed him. His lyrical ability has never been touched by anyone I have ever known, except for Mike Love.

A thread on this interview was started back on 7/10:

Mea culpa on that!  :lol

I'd never had attempted to copy the link (not my strong suit!.) :lol  ... had I seen it earlier...

Thanks to buddahat for the kind remarks... :love
