[April 3]

I have started running again. I am getting faster fast since I work out as well (just started). My goal this year is to run 10 k in 43 minutes.

I intend to drink beer tomorrow.

I heard Help Me, Ronda years before I heard Help Me, Rhonda.

you are Mr. Celebration!

I am just trying to keep the summer in paradise alive.

I just realized the "HEY NOW"s in Summer of Love are likely a reference to Do It Again!

A nostalgic nod to the first ever Beach Boys nostalgia song? 

Pretty much, half of SIP is basically nods to older (and better) BBs songs.

Isn't that Mike's career for the last 30 years....

Started with Celebration in the 70's. And with songs like It's A Beautiful Day.

Panic attacks are very much a real thing. If you don't believe that there is a serious disconnect between you and reality.

I don't know about you, but one does not fake panic attacks. Brian clearly faced the results of a stressful career/personal life on that plane.

Well, it's the 20th day of the 4th month.

Is it special day? I am not sure what's about it.

Cannabis day in the US.

When I think "prolific songwriter" I think "good songwriter". I take quality into consideration.

When I google "prolific songwriters" the results are "best songwriters", "great songwriters", "Hall of Fame songwriters", "top ten songwriters", "most successful songwriters" et c. That is how the word "prolific" can be used when it comes to music. If I write eleven bad songs that flop and Bruce ten hit songs would people refer to me as a more prolific songwriter than Bruce? I doubt it.

But then again, if I am wrong I am wrong.

Brian has been prolific since 1961.

I think TRBB was saying at that time, 1963, Bruce may have been more prolific.  

Around here, someone is always going to take that kind of statement wrong.  I didn't read it as a diss towards Brian, either.

Neither did I. I just think Brian was more prolific than Bruce in 1963. Sure, maybe Bruce collabed more with other musicians and Brian mostly worked with the Beach Boys in 1963,  but Brian's work was still more prolific.

Brian has been prolific since 1961.

It is in Chanhassen.

Murder? Sounds more like he is into some girl who is not into him and now he has decided to leave her alone.

His words don't make her laugh and his songs don't fill her heart with joy. She is not responding to his love.

England and America by Elton John. A new song.

Swedish Frog.

 

Agreed!

Thanks, STE. Seems I am growing in popularity.

I've often been in church and heard a particular song which made me think, "Wow, Brian and his band could do an awesome cover of this song!"

Many times I'll hear the choir and try to imagine the vocal blend and harmony voices of Brian's band performing the song.

Has anyone else thought this?  These songs would sound awesome by Brian's band:

On Eagle's Wings
How Great Thou Art
Be Not Afraid

You must be a fellow Catholic.

How Great Thou Art was written in 1885 by Carl Boberg, who was a priest in the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden - which is a protestant denomination.

Swedish Frog.

Old Rugged Cross.

Mother May I.

Our next song will be a haiku-palindrom.

What are you smoking?

How about Time To Get Alone and I Went To Sleep?

Which albums would you rate as undeniable masterpieces released this century. Three immediately spring to mind for me. BWPS, Bob Dylan's Love and Theft and Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Anyone got anymore they would put in that category?

Sailboat.

Thanks for sharing.

Solid version. Thanks for sharing.
