You'll have to scroll down the page quite a bit to see Brian; I've been catching this out of the corner of my eye whenever I drive down Sunset Blvd., and I was sure it was him! Nice to see him honored this way.

I know! I drove past it at least half-a-dozen times, (ok, I was on the other side of Sunset, so there was some distance), saying to myself, "Is that??? Nah, it can't be!", until finally I pulled over early yesterday morning & grabbed a picture of it myself. At least this turned out to be him, though. My wife & I happened to be on Sunset the day this installation was going up, and I was sure I spotted Frank Zappa, in a much more prominent spot; (right near Book Soup, if you know L.A.) Wasn't until I pulled this site up last night that I found out that one is supposed to be Cheech & Chong!

Title: Re: Brian in Gibson Guitar Exhibit Post by: Emdeeh on October 06, 2010, 11:04:46 AM That drawing bears little to no resemblance to Brian Wilson.... I thought it was intended to be someone else entirely until I read the caption.
Title: Re: Brian in Gibson Guitar Exhibit Post by: Roger Ryan on October 06, 2010, 12:03:25 PM Actually, it's a drawing of Brian from the future, age 90 or so, after someone's thrown a hot fudge sundae in his face.

Title: Re: Brian in Gibson Guitar Exhibit Post by: LetHimRun on October 06, 2010, 03:40:33 PM That is a horrible depiction of that picture. He looks bald and the man has a full head of hair.
The Al Bundy description is hilarious. How can whomever did that honestly look at the picture above and come up with what was used on the sculpture? They chopped off half his hair length and moved his hairline halfway back. Title: Re: Brian in Gibson Guitar Exhibit Post by: hypehat on October 06, 2010, 03:51:40 PM Jesus, these are horrible. It's not even Brian, Les Paul's one looks like they left him in the oven too long.
In fact, all these are shite. Except, funnily enough, the Katy Perry one. But that's just stripes. Title: Re: Brian in Gibson Guitar Exhibit Post by: Pretty Funky on October 06, 2010, 08:45:15 PM http://www.juliemeadows.com/blog/category/music/page/2/
About half way down are some more shots including Brians signature on the guitar. Maybe he liked it. |
