Title: Dennis and shaun Post by: dennyschild on February 02, 2011, 07:53:17 PM I don't want you getting tired of me asking questions. You all seem to know just about everything. Why did Dennis get with shaun? He knew she was mike love's daughter. Did he love her, or was it to get back at mike? What's the story there.

You should check out Gaines bio if you haven't already, if I recall it had a lot of answers to these kinds of questions...almost to the point of being distasteful at times...although its been a very long time since I've actually read it myself...

Thanks. I will check it out. Wanting to know, what was he thinking and being with a girl so young, i guess im trying to figure him out. Lot's to learn. Title: Re: Dennis and shaun Post by: Andrew G.

Reader's Digest version (and I've just surfaced, so apologies for, oh, everything actually), but when DW first met Shawn it was via his daughter (I think) and he didn't know who she was - she was just another cute teen. Apparently it took a while for her to tell Dennis her surname/father: I'll leave you to imagine the his reaction. ;D Title: Re: Dennis and shaun Post by: jeremylr on February 03, 2011, 12:16:13 AM The book is called "Heroes and Villains: The True Story of The Beach Boys." It originally came out in 1986. I found it last year in a used bookstore, but I just checked Amazon, and they have it in stock. I haven't read many books on the band, but this book has a lot of interviews with the band & folks who where there & research in it. It does tend to focus on the sordid details at times.
One thing I really like about it is the 1st chapter. It focuses on the final days of your dad with lots of stuff I didn't know. You'll go through it very quickly. At the end of the book, Gaines picks up the story again. Glad you're posting again. Title: Re: Dennis and shaun Post by: smile-holland on February 03, 2011, 12:23:18 AM You also might wanna check out these books:
- "Dennis Wilson: The Real Beach Boy" by Jon Stebbins - "Dumb Angel: The Life and Music of Dennis Wilson" by Adam Webb I think both books give a good view on the beautiful but complex person that Dennis was. By the way: the first one is hard to get for a decent prize these days. Still patiently waiting for that reissue, Jon!! :) Title: Re: Dennis and shaun Post by: dennyschild on February 03, 2011, 12:29:26 AM I don't want you getting tired of me asking questions.

I'm thinking he liked very young girls. Maybe it was the drugs and or drinking. The only thing we have in common, that i know of at this time is we both have short tempers. I was always fighting in school, didn't like being told what to do. I grew up and now im calmer, and learned how to control my temper.

I'm sure it will be well worth it, as long as it's the truth. Title: Re: Dennis and shaun Post by: smile-holland on February 03, 2011, 01:17:21 AM I found them on amazon, i couldn't believe the cost.

You'll also find a copy of The Real Beach Boy there, but - again - is not so cheap.
