 :) Remembering Dennis on his would have been 71st birthday.  Thank you for the music, we miss you!

Happy Denny Day, everyone!

I just happened to be listening to Morning Christmas on the way to work today.  IMO, the best track on the abandoned 1970s Christmas album by a long shot. 

Happy Birthday.

The absence of musicians has rarely left such a hole in my life.

With Dennis it was more than just the music.

Gonna fire up POB later and raise a glass.

Dear Dennis,
Hope you are in a happy place.
Remembering you!
 :-D

Playing A Time to Live in Dreams as I type. Wonderful song! Incredible how stuff like that could remain unreleased for such a long time. This one definitely should've been on a regular album. As Brian Wilson said, the guy was a genius in his own right.

Love Remember Me. I listened to that today in Denny's memory.

Message from Brian.

Happy birthday Dennis, thank you for changing my life for the absolute better. Rest easy.

Thanks, Dennis for asking Brian to write a song about surfin' and Happy Birthday to one cool dude.  :woot

From Van Dyke Parks' twitter -

Dennis Wilson, born Dec. 4, a Beach Boy--was under-agented, and man enough to take it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VokiVu95xbU&

A belated happy birthday to Dennis Wilson. Pretty mind-blowing to think that he would be 71 if he was still alive. Frankly, it wouldn't be easy to imagine him at that age haha. Anyway, thank you for the music and all your contributions to the Beach Boys, Denny!

What the hell does "under-agented" mean?????

It means Van Dyke loves being passive-aggressive.

As EmdeeH said two years ago, Happy Denny Day, everyone.

The expression "taken from us far too soon" was made for Dennis.

John, do we have a thread like this at PSF?  Some of these threads need to be updated.

:hat  :hat  :hat Happy Birthday to the cool guy indeed.

Hi Will. We do now.  :hat

With POB playing on the turntable I raise a glass to the man. Thank you for the amazing music Dennis.

Dear Dennis Wilson.
I could be your Son who is a Womanizer and love Corvettes and I was a Swimmer.

I read it as "didn't have enough people on his side/on his team/in his corner", or something like that.

Could Dennis have had the coolest beard and hair combo of all time?  What a guy

Hi Surfer. Sounds like a great ambition. :=)

Digging this grungy 1973 BB version of "River Song" (see comments). Just love that guitar sound! And the frantic percussion at the end----fantastic!

Heavy!

I was wondering if anyone was gonna say anything about that "womanizer" comment, lol. Surfer probably doesn't understand what it means.

73 not 71

Jess/ retrokid made this thread in 2015. Her math is fine. :3d

Belated Birthday wishes - thinking of you.

Legend.

Can't wait to read Dreamer: The Making of Pacific Ocean Blue.

Belated birthday kudos to the BB's most magnetic enigma and sadly under-deployed "secret weapon." Proud to share his natal day!
