Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: alf wiedersehen on February 26, 2016, 06:33:46 PM Just the one ear.
Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Emily on February 26, 2016, 06:40:01 PM He'd be a top mathematician. I don't know what would've become of the rest of 'em.
Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Debbie KL on February 26, 2016, 07:05:30 PM I guess my response is, why is this even a thread - whether he was deaf in the other ear or both? Yeah, it might have been a problem. It wasn't. Next?
Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: alf wiedersehen on February 26, 2016, 07:35:51 PM Okay, okay, I hear what you're saying Debbie.
What if, like, Carl was named Steve instead? Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: SamMcK on February 26, 2016, 07:42:16 PM Okay, okay, I hear what you're saying Debbie. What if, like, Carl was named Steve instead? What if Van Dyke was named Van Dick Parks? SPOILER: He'd probably be very popular with the ladies. :lol Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: CenturyDeprived on February 26, 2016, 08:08:17 PM I think the albums would have been the same regardless of which ear.
Now... What if all of the band members were given their middle names for their first names, and their first names for their middle names. How would history be different? Douglas Brian Wilson Carl Dennis Wilson (confusing, I know) Dean Carl Wilson Charles Alan Jardine Edward Michael Love Arthur Bruce Johnston Would Mike go by "Ed"? "Eddie"? Would Al go by "Chuck"? "Charlie"? "The Chuck-ster"? Would the world know of the musical genuis "Doug" aka "Douggie" aka "Doogie" Wilson? Would we be talking about "Art" and his mic adjustments? This is important stuff, folks. ;D Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear?

Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: CenturyDeprived on February 26, 2016, 09:15:11 PM What if the Wilson brothers are actually the Baldwin brothers? One Baldwin bro was on Al's album. Another is married to a Wilson Phillips member. And I imagine Brian has played some Baldwin pianos in his day. Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear?

Doe on February 26, 2016, 11:41:36 PM To forestall the seemingly inevitable, what if Brian were totally deaf, blind and incapable of speech ?
He'd be a pinball champion, of course, but that's beside the point, which is - what if people stopped posting such stupid topics ? Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Gertie J. on February 26, 2016, 11:51:15 PM #dontfeedthetroll
Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Emily on February 26, 2016, 11:59:09 PM It's trolling now to start a jokey thread?
Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: KDS on February 27, 2016, 12:06:37 AM It's trolling now to start a jokey thread? I agree Emily. A little humor on this board is most welcome. Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Gertie J. on February 27, 2016, 12:11:24 AM what agd said

A little humor on this board is most welcome. This isn't humor. It's pointless. If Brian were deaf in his other ear, he's still have 50% hearing, and nothing would have changed. Bit like asking, what if the sky were blue. Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Ovi on February 27, 2016, 01:20:00 AM It's trolling now to start a jokey thread?

In a just world, all "What if...?" topics, even "parodies", would be relegated to a remote corner of this board. A bit like the "Rank the Tracks" topics----only even more remote. ;D Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear?

Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Manfred on February 28, 2016, 05:21:20 AM My god, what a crap !
Canīt you think of better questions ? Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: JK on February 28, 2016, 02:05:50 PM What if Brian was deaf in his left leg? Or worse, my left leg? :lol :lol :lol This was too good not to quote on my other board. CenturyDeprived's initial post in this topic is very cool too. Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: Stephen W. Desper on February 28, 2016, 07:58:53 PM Please speculate. COMMENT:#1 Brian suffers from Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) of around 80% in one ear. #2 SNHL occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. #3 SNHL cannot be medically or surgically corrected. #4 SNHL affects 200,000 people per year in the USA. #5 Brian's musical accomplishments are made more amazing by his ability to overcome his handicap. #6 Brian will never fully hear any of his recordings in the way we do. #7 If you love Brian it would be best to honor the man's accomplishments with praises, not jokes. ~swd Title: Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? Post by: alf wiedersehen on February 28, 2016, 09:14:14 PM Thank you all for making this thread better than I ever imagined it could be.
