What You Do To Me

Wow this is tough. Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long, I suppose.

By 'otter' are you referring to a dwarf in Norse mythology or a junior C hockey team member?  Or the animal? 

Has it been established that it really is Brian singing?

Are we sure it`s not Tony Clifton... 

 

Jethro Tull 'Stand Up', in honor of recently deceased Glen Cornick. What an incredible bass player Cornick was. While listening to the Stand Up album earlier I was mesmerized by his playing on tracks like Bouree and Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square. Excellent stuff.

Question about the gatefold for In Concert...
Who is the person with the 8 ball over his face standing next to Ricky Fataar? I thought maybe it was Ed Carter but I've never been sure. And why is his face covered up with an 8 ball in the first place? I've been wondering about this for years.

I just found out that Glen Cornick passed away. He was/is one of my favorite bass players of all time. RIP

What You Do To Me

There's So Many

On And On And On

Yes I've dreamt of the BBs before. In one dream I was at an airport which was also my bedroom (?!), and I saw Mike, Bruce and Al sitting down looking bored. So I grabbed a vinyl copy of Pet Sounds and asked them to autograph it for me, which they did. In a different dream Brian was giving a speech to an audience and his hair was grey and he was sporting a beard. Not much to these dreams I guess but I totally remember those dreams. I seem to remember my dreams rather well. I used to keep a journal.

On And On And On

There's So Many

One More Night Alone

In texts, people actually write the word 'Prolly', which is short for 'probably'. The problem is, 'prolly' isn't a word.

Agreed. Somebody once texted me 'prolly'. My response was 'who's Prolly?'.

For a guy who gets ragged on constantly Mike Love is a good sport a lot of the time.

- once-hip bands like the Stones and Pink Floyd became embarrassing dinosaurs for a few years, before the ideological divide closed once again.

When did Pink Floyd become embarrassing?

Punk had something to do with that. Johnny Rotten used to wear an "I Hate Pink Floyd" T shirt.

Excited about the Friends repress.

Me too!

Thanks for the great interview! Incredibly interesting. I got a chuckle at the end of the interview when Al revealed that the broken-leg incident wasn't Brian's fault.

She's Mine

Even though I like the song, There's So Many is my vote.

On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On And On

Bumper stickers. Hate 'em. I don't care if your kid is an honor student, or if your kid beat up my honor student, or if you hate Obama, or if you think it's funny that Calvin pisses on a certain baseball team's logo, what religion you are, what (un)clever phrases you're amused by...I just care that you drive safe.

Agree.

But What if they're Brian Wilson bumper stickers?

Why waste it by putting it on your car? Put it on your guitar case or save it in your Beach Boys Scrapbook. What a waste...decorating your automobile with stickers.

Also I hate the phrase "not for nothing". People in New England say it a lot. Example: "I went to Applebee's for lunch today, and not for nothing but they over-cooked my steak."
