Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Ron on February 11, 2006, 06:07:35 PM Yeah, I dunno. Didn't seem that talented. :-\
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Jason on February 11, 2006, 06:09:06 PM Yeah, that Michelle Loaf was more talented.

Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on February 11, 2006, 06:19:37 PM The luckiest man in rock. Interesting comment. How do you mean? Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: I. Spaceman on February 11, 2006, 06:26:27 PM I mean, to meet the great Mike Love and David Marks and ride their coattails, and end up with all the praise for it.
He DID write a great song called Hey Little Tomboy, though. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Jason on February 11, 2006, 06:29:08 PM The luckiest man in rock. Interesting comment. How do you mean? Humor's lost on you, man. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: I. Spaceman on February 11, 2006, 06:33:46 PM Nah, he's funny as hell.
Just more thoughtful than me. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Swamp Pirate on February 11, 2006, 07:38:18 PM He's reclaimed his life.
Reclaimed his music. Reclaimed his legacy. Reclaimed Smile. I find what he's been able to accomplish in the last five years just about as remarkable as what he was able to accomplish in 1961-1966. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: JRauch on February 12, 2006, 04:43:26 AM He's the greatest composer of the 20th century. And also an incredible funny, weird, cool, sensetive and interesting guy.

Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: I. Spaceman on February 13, 2006, 02:09:13 PM Just telling the truth.
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: SurferGirl7 on February 13, 2006, 02:11:16 PM It's flattering and kind of weird
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: I. Spaceman on February 13, 2006, 02:11:59 PM Quote kind of weird ??? Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Jonas on February 13, 2006, 02:13:10 PM I think its because youre 40-something...
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: SurferGirl7 on February 13, 2006, 02:15:02 PM 40 something eh? Havan't heard that I'm that old from everyone yet ;D
I am just very insecure :( :( Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Jason on February 13, 2006, 02:46:22 PM I think its because youre 40-something... EDIT - Misread post. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: I. Spaceman on February 13, 2006, 02:50:47 PM I think its because youre 40-something... Nope. 32. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Swamp Pirate on February 14, 2006, 05:15:40 AM That is such a good picture of Brian. Katie- my daughter Annie says hi. You guys met at Susan's convention last year. I remember your daughter! Wow, tell her I said hi back? Are you guys doing to the Hodad convention this year! I wish we were. Unfortunately, it falls on the same weekend we are driving 1500 miles due west. Hopefully, Susan has another convention in 07. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: SurferGirl7 on February 15, 2006, 12:14:22 PM Aw, it's ok. I'll totally be back at Susan's for '07! Will be a whole month after I graduate from HS ;D
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: retrokid67 on February 14, 2014, 04:18:19 PM Brian's a musical genius ;D
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: sandmountainslim on February 17, 2014, 04:18:27 PM I love Brian's music and he is a legend so I really feel bad posing this question but I am really curios as to his state of being nowadays (Post Landy). I wonder if the guys in his band and his friends and family can actually have meaningful conversations with him as we do with our friends and family or if he is sort of in a Syd Barrett type netherworld most of the time and just coaxed into singing songs. I also wonder how much of his recent work is HIS and how much is ghost written by Darien or Foskett.
Terrible rude questions and I apologize if I offended the board. These are just things I wonder. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: mtaber on February 17, 2014, 04:37:44 PM Brian is perpetually catatonic and most of his music is still being written by David Sandler... He does occasionally spontaneously say the word "cake" however...
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: SMiLE Brian on February 17, 2014, 04:42:48 PM He is a little of both, depends on the day.
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: sandmountainslim on February 17, 2014, 07:53:50 PM He is a little of both, depends on the day. I'm glad he has Days of Clarity :) During the days of his first solo album I read the rolling stone issue and all I could find and I was worried sick that Landy was gonna be the end of him. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: Joel Goldenberg on February 18, 2014, 06:24:36 AM Seriously, songs like God Only Knows, Til I Die, Midnight's Another Day, Where Is She and others have more emotional resonance for me than anything by the Beatles. And I'd love to know how Brian had all that Smile music in his head in '66-'67.
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Appreciation Thread Post by: SMiLE Brian on February 18, 2014, 06:45:55 AM If there was only a way to read Brian's mind during smile..... :3d

I also wonder how much of his recent work is HIS and how much is ghost written by Darien or Foskett. Terrible rude questions and I apologize if I offended the board. These are just things I wonder. My idea of a reply: I think that he is different in his trusted inner circle compared to any public situation, including interviews. In the latter, he's on guard somehow, and seems to retreat in the form of very curt and info-free replies, and only if he has complete, instinctive trust in the interviewer, he will give normal answers (of which he is very well capable). But in any scenario where he feels 'exposed', he will remain pretty detached. I think when he's simply at home and feeling comfy, he is well approachable and a warm person too. It is conjecture on my part, of course. But he has had his periods of feeling persecuted, stalked, the voices in his head speak volumes about this. Therefore I would think that in public situations, he might think: what do they want from me? What are they after? That kind of thing. But in feeling totally safe and protected, people like Bri change. This from your local amateur psychologist.

Thank u very much :) I had read that he had complete trust of Foskett and the things your described could be just what that meant.

Thank u very much :) I had read that he had complete trust of Foskett and the things your described could be just what that meant. ...and thanks to you too! That is what I basically meant. Jeff Foskett has been a loyal collaborator for many, many years. Supportive, trustworthy, and IMHO never claiming stardom for himself. Brian feels such things.

Having interviewed Brian on the phone in 2005 (not the best way to do so, I'm sure he's better in person), I can confirm the above. Although when he opened the conversation with "Hello Joel", I thought I died and went to Heaven. |
