The Smiley Smile Message Board

Okay, one more Yahoo Chat oldie. I asked Peter Frampton in a 2001 Yahoo Chat if he had any weird Brian Wilson stories, and he actually had a funny one:

heyjude160 asks: Peter, have you ever met Brian Wilson? It seems everybody has a strange story about meeting him. :)
peter_frampton_live: Yes, and I have a strange story.
peter_frampton_live: :)
y_chat_diva: >:)
peter_frampton_live: Wait, I didn't tell the story.
peter_frampton_live: Brian Wilson.
peter_frampton_live: He came to my show at the Forum in the 70's in Los Angeles
peter_frampton_live: with his psychiatrist.
peter_frampton_live: And his daughters.
peter_frampton_live: So Wendy and Carnie came to my concert.
peter_frampton_live: I told him I was a big fan of his music and was so glad that he was going to see the concert.
peter_frampton_live: He said,'
peter_frampton_live: " Oh, I'm not. I just came to bring the girls."
peter_frampton_live: But he came with his psychiatrist to do that!
peter_frampton_live: Eugene whatever-his-name-was.

Interesting tidbit!

Brian has such a straight forward, almost autistic way of saying things, I'd bet money that he was like that perhaps in a more reserved way even in his teens.  Has anybody ever heard any stories about him doing that when he was young?  Before the problems?  You can ALMOST detect it in the "bull session", Brian's talking in the background and you can't see what's going on, but it's almost like he's having his own little comments nobody's paying attention to... but I haven't heard really any early interviews with him to see if he had similar mannerisms p re 1967 or so...
