The Smiley Smile Message Board

Recently, the Charlie Rose website has been vastly overhauled and a database of some 20,000 hours (if I heard correctly) has been made available there. Like him or love him, he got some big names in pop culture an politics. I generally have always enjoyed his one-on-one interviews, personally.

When I heard this I instantly thought about the times that either the band, Brian and others related to the band have appeared. I couldn't help but share the info.

I have hand picked a few that stood out in memory that I wanted to revisit, it's very nice to be able to do so now with the click of the keyboard/mouse.

These are great, Charlie Rose has always been one of the best interviewers out there.

Thanks for sharing, JCM. i luv how Brian says that Christmas should be pronounced Christ-mas, and that funny sounding cough a few seconds later

Great interviews, especially like how animated and alert Brian seemed when talking about SMiLE/The Christmas album. Forward to how tired and unengaged he was for the 2012 reunion interview and it's quite a difference.

Thank you so much for putting this all together and supplying links.. 2 of those i had never seen before.. What a joy it was to watch those one after the other.. BW  is like his music.. Complex and childlike.. He isnt crazy.. Just insecure.... His music is the soundtrack of my life..
