I couldn't find this via the search function, so excuse me if it was already posted. In that case, please remove this thread.
By accident I found this article from the Guardian, posted in 2013.

Thanks for posting. I remember reading the title on some thread at the time but not reading the story, possibly paid content.

Great Brian quote: "He (Dennis) might have looked out a different window than me and Carl," says Brian Wilson today, "but he had the biggest view."

All of them had a spectacular view. So glad we've had them in our lives.

It may be great but definitely Brian isn't right. Judging by Dennis' music, wouldn't say he's got "biggest view".
