Because Carl is irreplaceable!!

The photo of Carl from the top post was taken from a calendar done for the Carl Wilson Foundation years ago. IIRC, it’s a personal photo from either Gina or one of his sons, and the calendar is the only place it was published.

Landy is behind the estrangement, as far as I can tell. He worked to drive a wedge between Brian and all of his family members. I've also heard that the brothers reconciled towards the end.

Happy natal day!

 

I love the idea of releasing both Flame albums as a double disc set!

Has anybody else noticed that the track listing for the six-LP set has only one side on the sixth disc?

But having Ray Charles perform "Sail On, Sailor" was a stroke of genius. 

Easily the high point of the show, all around.

It’s always sounded more like a Bruce arrangement to me.

Disagree -- I think this is just lawyer business, not something personal.

How in the world did the Grammys fail to include Billy Hinsche in their In Memoriam segment?

Anybody seen any photos of Brian eating with a fork or spoon in his hand? Al could have been thinking about Carl, who definitely dined lefty-style.

In David's case, he's the one suing for streaming royalties.

Very sad news… I’ve often referred to Hawkins as “the happiest drummer in rock” because he always had that big grin when he was drumming and was so thoroughly engaged in his playing. He did a great job singing “Holy Man.”

Joshilyn, do you know how countertenor works -- isn't that a form of head voice?

Listening to the link -- that Wilsons + Jardines blend is still amazing!

According to setlist.fm, Wendy sang lead on “Sail On, Sailor.” That’s interesting, I expected Bobby to take that lead.

Dan, here's the link for the discussion:

I think that's the original version.

Digital-only release?

The "Family & Friends" shows in 1999/2000 were really great. I hope Al can get this tour up and running.

Yes, those shows were great and I'd love to see this show come out my way, to GA.

HeyJude, I was just having a little fun with the notion…

If Mike and Bruce are playing a matinee show at the Ostrich Festival, that could open the door for a BB mini-reunion.

New tour dates for Mike & Bruce:

March 18 -- Chandler, AZ -- Chandler Chamber Ostrich Festival, Tumbleweed Park
April 8 -- Huntington, NY -- The Paramount
July 28 -- Calgary, AB, Canada -- Grey Eagle Resort & Casino (moved from April 14)
Sept. 5 -- Puyallup, WA -- Washington State Fair

The March 5th Warner Theatre show in Torrington, CT has also been cancelled. Wilson Phillips is now performing at "Miami Beach Live!" in Florida on that date.

NONE of these "net worth" articles are correct or remotely factual. Check the source.

Yeah, I figured it was just clickbait.
