Just goes to show you can't really know people.

I mean, a member of a band (any band) could have loads of kiddie porn on their laptop and we wouldn't be any wiser until they were nabbed by the FBI.

There are a lot of weird people out there, hiding terrible secrets behind their masks of civility.

At least I can rest in the knowledge that my skeletons in the closet aren't so bad.

Not that I actually have skeletons... in my closet...  angel

Anyway, I just wanted to mention something:  with the exchange rates, I think the tix for the Osaka concert cost me about 90 bucks.  The seats weren't great, but I did have the option to pay not a whole lot more for better seats.  And for that, we got 40 songs and (I think) nearly 2.5 hours of music.  That's about $2.25 per song--an absolutely fantastic bargain for seeing one of the greatest pop composers of all time playing with a large band and two other significant ex-BB's.  Just a wonderful deal for the fans.  I'm really grateful to Brian, Al, Blondie and the band for this! 

Cool. I had tickets to see Brian in Japan literally 2 weeks before 9/11/01... the tour was cancelled, natch.

My 2¢.

Brian has 5 original solo albums (6 if you include Orange Crate), not including SMiLE, Disney, Gershwin etc.

I kinda expected a "Brian Wilson" show to have more than two solo tracks.

Now, if the current tour was called "The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson presents..." then the current set list would make more sense.

THAT said, I'm sure 90% of the audience at the show I attended wouldn't have recognized "Lay down burden" or anything from NPP.
