Post by: SloopJohnB on October 09, 2009, 11:22:52 AM There's a noteworthy bit at the end of the article:
Quote Moments later, Wilson got up and left through the back door, speeding away in a sports car while his entourage scrambled for their cars ("You know Brian -- when he wants to go, he goes"). I remember reading a thread on this very same board, in which people were wondering if Brian was still used to driving his car himself or not. Seems like we've got an answer!

There was an article on Brian in Rolling Stone from around '05 or '06 where the reporter talks about Brian driving him around LA. Title: Re: Has the book signing been discussed yet?

I got the distinct impression he wasn't going to let Brian play chauffeur again any time soon. Or ever. |
