Wherever you are, Dennis, Thanxx !  

Bit surprised to wake up and not see a thread for Dennis and his Birthday

Ed had a Really nice post yesterday on FB, but I can't seem to find it now

Happy 70th, Dennis.

Absolutely!  Break out the champagne and toast to his big heart and honesty...

Billy Hinsche & Brian too.

Sure wish he was still with us to celebrate his 70th birthday today. I'm toasting one up to him this evening when I get home.

Happy Birthday, Dennis! :)

It's the big seven 0, Dennis! You know, back in the day dude, you were Mr. Inspiration-the guy most guys made their role model. I'm glad I got to meet and talk to you several times-Thanks for being a good guy. I'll never forget you  :'(.
Happy Birthday!!

Thanks, bgas, it's right here, on my Dennis page, but I'll copy it below:

(btw, a really nice painting of Dennis there from Walter Egan, too)

Stumbling upon all of these tribute videos to Dennis as we round the hours into what would have been his 70th birthday... Hard to believe on so many levels; hard to accept how many years he's been out of my life, after being so significant in my life for so many years. Also crazy to think of how things would have been were he still here, & we were rolling into his 70th... here's to ya', brother!

Happy Birthday, Dennis!  Too bad you were long gone before my time.

Happy Birthday Dennis. The music you gave us will always be loved by those who connect with it's deep beauty and spiritual purity.

Going to spin some POB/Bamboo/L.A. favorites sometime later in the evening! :)

Happy Denny Day, y'all -- "Little Bird" playing right now, much more DW music on the way.

"Someone should write a song about surfing."  -- Dennis Wilson, summer 1961

Someone, indeed.

Happy Birthday. Thanks for all the beautiful music and for putting it all in motion.

Happy Birthday Dennis!  I wish I have meet you  8)

Al Jardine posted the following lovely message on his Facebook along with a video of Dennis performing "Forever" at Central Park in 1971:

"I'd like to honor Dennis Wilson and my brother, Neal Jardine, who share the same birthday today. These two influenced my life in very different, but incredible ways. My brother helped inspired me by paving the way for me to succeed in my secondary education. He set an example for me simply by being there. It's always nice to have a senior classman brother to look out after you in the proving grounds of High School. His friends were my friends and I took great comfort in that. Dennis welcomed me back into the band after I left to finish my undergrad work. I felt I had to finish what I started, and he supported that. He was a free spirit and took no guff from anyone. He was a 'straight shooter' and you better get out of the way when he started shooting. He wasn't always right, but I liked that. I'd rather know how I stand with someone, than not.
Happy Birthday guys, Al."

You know!!!  There it is.  And here we are.

Is it weird to miss someone whom you never met? If so I guess I'm weird. Damn Dennis would be 70. The world definitely lost the coolest motherfu**er.

everything he was is still here.

A belated Happy Birthday to Dennis from me! Wow, it's mind-staggering to think that he'd be 70 if he's still alive...

Not posted  on  here for  a  while  but couldn't let this occasion pass.

Belated  70th greetings  to the man.

Happy belated birthday to one of the coolest rock stars that ever was...Dennis!

Happy belated birthday to my favorite Beach Boy!  ;D We miss you  :'(
