Its really easy to find quotes of John slagging off Mick Jagger or Bob Dylan or even Elvis... but I can't think of one quote where he slagged off the Beach Boys as a group or Brian as a person. I assume that extended to Dennis as well. I think John had a tremendous respect for them. (although correct me if I am wrong, but the line from Bungalo Bill about the "all American Bullet-headed saxon mother's son" was inspired by Mike Love. Who I guess took a break from peaceful meditation to go kill some animals somewhere in Rishikesh).
No, that was not Mike Love. Who was he referencing?

Thanks Malc. Maybe I am just dense but I can't seem to navigate that site worth a damn. Anyone wanna post a direct link to the photos for a blind man? Sorry to see that you can't seem to navigate my site ! Basically, enter Part 2, or whichever era you want to read about by selecting the tab along the top of the front page menu, then enter that section by clicking on the word 'enter' ... and then choose which album you wish to read about by clicking on the relevant sleeve. In this instance select the 'In Concert' sleeve. To find the photos just scroll down the page to the 'flash' and click on that ! I realise there is a lot of clicking and navigating on the site but that's the fun, come back some other time and find something you hadn't seem before Alternatively ... http://www.pipeline-operaglass.moonfruit.com/#/1973lashow/4532469771

Yes. The sessions are worth the price alone, but they packed the DVD with a lot of goodies. The performance (including the visuals from the show)/Going Home doc./Yahoo! Nissan performance/Brian & Deschannel interview from MySpace Artist on Artist/The commentary videos from Brian's website with Brian and Scott/photo gallery (although not as well put together as on the BWPS DVD). I might be forgetting something, but yes, I think it's worth it. Thats the word I have been waiting for. Thanks for the insight! Cheers

I always took to mean a lesser form of a symphony. A pop song in movements with a typical sonata type format: ie Exposition, developement, and recapitulation... all of which are present in SMiLE. Basically a term to convey the ambitiousness of the project without any hint of pretension.

I think Spring is in there but Brian was hitting high notes in 75 (Help Me Rhonda) and 76 (In The Still Of The Night, You've Lost That Loving Feeling). He couldn't do it with purity and his voice sounded fundamentally different tonally, but he could get up there.
Not to mention "Sherri She Needs Me". Near glass-shattering falsetto. None of those examples resemble the timbre of the the voice in question though.
