Title: A new Secret BW/Beach Boys Project coming?
Post by: SurfGeko61 on March 03, 2024, 06:20:35 PM
Intriguing, read a line in this article from Grunge Website, that states “Sadly, a recent dementia diagnosis suggests that Wilson's career is now all but over, though he has reportedly been involved in one last Beach Boys project that many fans won't be expecting.”

Anyone have any ideas what this could be referring too?  Since article also mentions the Cows in the Pasture, and already know about the upcoming song for ‘Strong’ on the Glen Campbell Duets album.  And the future  BB documentary also publicly known and in the works.

Well, one thing I'd love is that unplugged show they did at the Grammy Museum in 2012, but that probably wouldn't necessarily fit the description. It probably has to do with the documentary.
On the other hand, I wouldn't expect a podcast of the Boys analyzing each other's solo albums.

Yes, Perhaps it is something very special related to the Documentary.  Just wild guess of course, perhaps due to fact from time announced and when the documentary will be released (still tbd) the director with Beach Boys approval are doing some kind of AI section of videos, or new audio release of some still in the can or newish songs or something.  Sure that could just be wishful thinking.  But thinking of something along the lines of what was done with the Beatles, or video Billy Joel did with his new song released (did some cool AI presentation of him singing new song over years etc.).   

The documentary seems like perhaps it taking longer, than they initially planned to finalize and release, so maybe in for a very special treat.  Only thing can find so far that The Beach Boys Documentary maybe released in 2024 on Disney+ and was being directed by Frank Marshall (who is Married to Kathleen Kennedy, who happens to be President of LucasFilm and part of Disney).  So they would for sure have access to all the best technology and expertise.

Anyway.  Very excited to find out if that little line is true and or what it could be.  Will try and keep my expectations low, but it is a very intriguing line and imagination running wild.
