Well, we all know that the only reason "Sunshine Tomorrow" is happening next week is because of "Full House" and MTV airing the "Kokomo" video back in 1988.....  LOL

gee, and I thought there was a director's cut of 'Problem Child' coming to Blu-Ray with deleted scenes...

I like being a whore and spreading myself all over every forum.
I'm the John Holmes of Beach Boy land.  LOL

it's pretty cool to see how Brian Wilson and Tammy Wynette could
even be in the same room together, and yet record a song together.
it just shows how much Brian's tunes have an effect on all cultures
of music, even 'country'.  it's such a heartbreaking recording where
two different worlds collide, but both have experienced the same
torture.  now only if 'stars and stripes' followed more in this path
it would probably have more love from the fans.

I thought Bruce Greenwood played Dennis fantastically! His whole attitude and
persona thought was a well dramatized portrayal.

The answer's out there...I forget which book I read it in (maybe Leaf's, maybe Gaines), but it's this:  things had gotten too weird for him...and I mean dope-wise, not music-wise. According to one of those books, there was a lot of hashish being smoked in and around the band (not to mention the acid Brian, Dennis and Carl had all apparently dropped), and that wasn't his thing. He's on record as saying Smiley was "brilliant" - he even calls out "W. Woodpecker Symphony" as genius. He proved his loyalty by going to England on a promo trip for "H&V", even though he wasn't on the released version. That's why Bruce isn't on Smiley Smile, or the latter quarter of the SMiLE sessions, for that matter. That's why Brian was at the Hawaii shows and Bruce wasn't: he took a sabbatical until things apparently normalized to the degree that he felt comfortable returning.

Yeah, I think there's no question Bruce was freaked out and uncomfortable with the drug use and general weirdness (quite understandably) but it's still a bit amazing that someone whose status in the group was as uncertain as his was just decided to blow it off.  OTOH, he had his own career and power centers that he could conceivably return to (and in fact did much later), so he probably felt like he would be fine even if he wound up being dismissed.

Bruce had quite a career before the Beach Boys, so yeah I agree. He played on other peoples songs,
did his own recordings and produced at Columbia records.  He had his finger in the pie since what, 58? 59?
I'm sure it wasn't a big blow for him.

was probably

I'm glad the OP started this thread, I know the feeling of what it's like to
meet and get an autograph from your heroes.
OK. Stupid of me to chime in to say what I deemed very fair & logical, that it's very insignificant thread idea.

To tell the truth, I'm very apathetic about signatures. Mike, Blondie, smb. else sending-not sending signed items back doesn't change my view towards them one bit. If you all find these stories cool - jolly good. If nobody of living BBs sent me back any signatures, I'd be absolutely OK. It isn't big deal, thankfully am not crazy about such trifle. If it would be fake signature - again no big deal. See? Apathetic.

it's nice to look them in the eye, shake their hand and say Thankyou in person..........while the sign your album  angel

no artist is obligated to sign things at all!  it's a choice they make, and for
the fans, it can be a rewarding one.  Mike is in no need to take time out
to sign anything anymore, but hearing he did, sure tells me how credible
he is to the fans, and especially signing it sending it back in the mail.

it's funny how it's a short moment of time can be a lifetime memory

the other big problem for big stars, too many people try and flip em off
to make some money off them, scalpers.  how many times do you see
a current program signed by say, Brian and the following day it's on ebay.
very disrespectful.

you gotta give Mr Love some credit for being good to his fans.  I met him once hours
after a show when he was trying to leave the venue, and he had time for autographs
and pictures, long after the 'meet and greet' stuff was over. 
he is a true professional.
