Lorren, do you have any picture of Brian during that era. Any pics of the famous sandbox?

Thank you Lorren for your time. I really like reading your posts. I have two questions. What were the books, movies, music that fueled creatively Brian while you were in the picture with him. Also, could you describe a typical evening with him during and/or special anecdotes. Best regards, J.F.

Thanks Mike, it is so appreciated!

I think it is one of the most interesting piece on SMiLE along with Siegel article and Anderle's interview.

It is a bit frustrating though... He was so close telling us, two years after the fact, the original vision of SMiLE. I am sure he would have been able to identify the original concept of The Elements. He confirms in the article the two-parts Heroes and Villains, The Barnyard Suite... Wow!!!

Andrew, you told us about the article that what is most interesting is what he didn't tell. Could you please elaborate on this.

Best Regards,

JF

Hello,

Long time lurker here. I've been looking for that article for days but couldn't find it. Looks like every link is dead. Would it be possible to post the entire Fusion article. Thanks in advance!
