 "Beach Boys figurehead"?  ::)
 Who writes this stuff?   Figurehead implies a sort of front man with no real power.  I don't think that's generally been true of BW... at least with respect to the Beach Boys.  1962-68, he was real leader.  During various other points, he's been either involved, uninvolved or semi-involved, but I don't think there was ever a period when the group was pretending Brian was the leader but he wasn't.  The group may have exaggerated his involvement here and there in the '70s/'80s in order to placate record companies or pique the public's interest, but the other ego(s) in the band would never have gone as far as pretending he was fronting/leading them when he wasn't.

I think it will bc this will be the first sighting of BW in about a year now. Will be nice to get some interview snippets and hopefully some recording snippets.

Yep - I've got a hankering for some Honeycomb . . . hopefully a little better rehearsed!
