There is another aspect that seems to have gotten lost...In reference to Dennis...as I have said ... everyone LOVED Dennis... he was a charmer... when he wanted to be...but he could also be an asshole...depending on his mood...towards the end... It was DEPENDING on weather or not he could get his DRUGS! Dennis had become a salacious dependent DRUG ADDICT... Not to mention his propensity for ALCOHOL... Dennis lived on Myers Rum and OJ...or Myers rum and Coke (the kind you drink) But make no mistake Dennis never turned down a hit or a bump... as it was commonly referred to in the 70's. Also...another aspect that has gotten lost is...The Beach Boys put Dennis in rehabs a number of times... three that I know about! But it was usually when he was completely broke and trying to borrow money from Carl, who was Dennis's closest family member, let us not forget that Carl was also Dennis's YOUNGER BROTHER... and Dennis could beat Carl up...Dennis was a hellion. But Dennis would stay in these REHABS for a day or two, get a little strength back, some sympathy...some encouragement...and some MONEY from the well intentions of friends...fans... or the latest phone number he had in his pocket from the guy that was buying him drinks the night before at some bar! The last REHAB...was a Beach Boy MANDATED 28 day INTERVENTION ... that the BEACH BOYS PAID FOR... Under one condition... that Dennis stay in the rehab the entire 28 days... Or he would not be allowed back in the Beach Boys! Dennis LOVED being a BEACH BOY... it was everything to him... it meant more to him than anything...except DRUGS! Most people know how addictive drugs are...and most unfortunately... tragically...Dennis was victim of this reality! Everyone around Dennis would have done anything for him... anything in there power to help him!!! But ADDICTION doesn't work that way...as you all know. Dennis needed to REACH WAY DOWN IN HIS SOUL...to find the METTLE to battle his VICES...but I can assure you Dennis is SORELY MISSED!

    It seems there is some confusion as to who was doing what.. who was buying... who was giving what to who...etc...etc... JUST FOR THE RECORD... Carolyn Williams, Brian's live in nurse, who basically replaced Stan and I (Rocky) called Stan and told him that Dennis would come over to Brian's house on a regular basis... and BORROW money from Brian to buy COCAINE... and Dennis would SHARE that COCAINE with Brian!!! Is everyone clear on that? TWO things are apparent here... Carolyn Williams could not keep DRUGS out of Brian's life................. When Stan and I worked for Brian he NEVER EVER GOT COCAINE...or any other drugs.  The second thing that is apparent...  is that STAN AND I COULD KEEP DRUGS OUT OF BRIAN'S LIFE...That was the whole JOB DESCRIPTION !!! In order to SAVE BRIAN'S LIFE we needed to keep Brian DRUG FREE... and not have Marilyn  have Brian COMMITTED to a MENTAL INSTITUTION!!!       

    I sent an email today to an avid reader... that I meant to  post on this website because it contained information I feel is important pertaining to the use of drugs! So I would like to recap some of that i material. In terms of my employment as a handler/bodyguard for Brian... When Marylin called Stephen Love,then Beach Boy manager,freaked out over walking in on Brian offering heroin to... Well...the readers know who (this is all a very sensitive subject to all in the know) The important thing to note is that Stephen pleaded and begged Marylin to give him ONE chance to save Brian before she had him committed! This highly unfortunate, obscure, situation was of the upmost  concern to all !!! Here is the most significant fact I would like to impart to the readers... Marylin made it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR to Stephen that he had ONE shot at this...and ONE SHOT ONLY! If Stephen couldn't hire the right people to achieve this MOST CHALLENGING TASK...Of keeping Drugs out of Brian's life that she would not hesitate. at this juncture , to have Brian COMMITTED to a MENTAL INSTITUTION. I think most people can understand her conviction in this DIRE situation... these are her nine and seven year old daughters! Stephen and Marylin gave Stan Love and I "OUR ORDERS"... Pure and simple... NO DRUGS of ANY KIND...ANY WHERE...BY ANYBODY...EVER...PERIOD...Is that understood? And we were reminded of this on a daily basis! And last but not least it was made all the more EXPLICITLY clear to Stan and I that more than anyone else...THIS MEANS "DENNIS"!!! Everybody loved Dennis... he was a charmer... but he was also INCORRIGIBLE! And you could never let your guard down around him. THAT WAS THE LAW!!!   

    Emily, first of all I got cut off before I could finish my email to you. The last thing I was trying to convey was that after diving and drinking for several hour's...Dennis ate a turkey sandwich and took a nap and started drinking and diving again... at "FIVE FIFTEEN" in the afternoon... on his second drunk of the day...when he Drowned... his BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL was point 26.Three times the legal limit to drive...as I'm sure you know! You ask WHY someone didn't go through legal channels to get Dennis involuntarily hospitalized... To be perfectly honest with you... I don't know!  Dennis had personal managers... they all did... but Dennis would FIRE anyone who tried to do anything to him he didn't want to do! I understand the term "involuntarily" but I can only guess "in those times" it wasn't as easy as one might think! These guys were RICH and FAMOUS at an early age... Dennis was 16 years old and didn't even finish High School when Brian's Music exploded on the scene.They were living the California Dream...the California  Myth  as I refer to it... that turned into the CALIFORNIA NIGHTMARE   In the sixties, as I'm sure you know, Drugs were prevalent...and THE THING TO DO!!! Nobody was stopping Elvis...Jim Morrison...Jimmy Hendrix...or Janis Joplin either... and countless others! IF YOU CAN TELL the readers the answer...I'm sure they would all like to know. And I don't just mean the technical aspect of involuntary action...But how do you prevent the client who's paying you...From stopping paying you... and have a restraining order SERVED on them?   

Gosh, in order to generate exposure for the potential publication of his book, perhaps Rocky would like to join the Smiley Smile board so as to engage in dialogue with the members here.  


    

8)It would be remiss of me not to thank you for inviting me to join this website...THANK YOU... whomever you are? Did you create this website? You can email me personally if you like!    I did'nt find out about this website until last week...A young  lady, from technical support at T.W.C., googled me while I was on the line with her and informed me of Smiley Smile. I called Stephen Love, my favorite person, and told him of it. He discovered that someone from the website "Man vs Clown" (Why I hate Mike Love) has posted a couple of his posts on this site... we would like to thank him as well...Good on ya mate. Before closing... I would like to say... There sure are some opinionated  uninformed people in this world. Just for the record I would like to say that Stephen Love saved Brian Wilson's life... when Brian's wife Marylin found  Brian in bed ... offering his seven year old daughter, Wendy, heroin... she absolutely freaked out and called Stephen, then Beach Boys manager, threatening to have Brian committed! Stephen pleaded with her to give him a chance to save Brian! He always took an extreme hard stand against DRUGS!!! He said he knew the exact right persons to keep DRUGS OUT OF BRIAN'S LIFE!!! An enormously CHALLENGING task... given Brian's fame and fortune... and addiction to drugs. Not to mention Dennis and Carl...who thought drugs were all fun and games!!!  

    Yes...the "ONE  and  ONLY" reason Stan and I beat up Dennis...is because Carolyn Williams, Brian's live in nurse, called Stephen Loves former personal assistant Janet Nelson in a "PANIC" crying out for "HELP" because Dennis was showing up at Brian's house,in the Palisades, on a regular basis and borrowing money to buy COCAINE and then sharing the COCAINE with Brian... (brotherly love) UNTIL Brian had a "SEIZURE"... and she had to stick a rolled up washcloth in his mouth to keep Brian from swallowing his tongue!!! IS THAT REASON ENOUGH FOR Y'ALL ? Stan came and got me on a Yacht Party' in Marina Del Ray, (the same Marina Dennis drowned in three years later) it was Super Bowl Sunday 1980. At around midnight Stan told me about the phone call he had received  that afternoon from Janet, Visa vie Carolyn Williams, about the horrific development with the ever demonstrative Dennis... and the COCAINE ... resulting in the  extremely dangerous  LIFE THREATENING SEIZURE Brian incurred the day before! To Dennis this is all just FUN and GAMES... Carolyn was SCARRED out of her mind...and called  Janet because she knew Janet would know how to reach Stan Love... the only person who would know what to do!  My response was... HOLY sh*t... your kidding... so what do you want to do... Stan said lets you and I go to Venus beach, where Dennis lives, I got his address from Carolyn, who is in tears... and BEAT THE sh*t out of Dennis... it's  the only language Dennis understands!!! I announced to the party guests... where Stan and I were going... and what we were going to do... and the Yacht party erupted in applause!  Though we no longer worked for Brian, in the capacity of keeping DRUGS OUT OF BRIAN'S LIFE... we still loved him!!! Off we went... the CALVARY to the rescue! Stan kicked the front door off the hinges, he and I CHARGED in, and in front of a dozen people doing COCAINE... Stan and I BEAT THE sh*t out of Dennis!!! Then we showed up the next mourning at 8 am... to find Dennis, all alone, sitting on a six inch stool drinking Myers Rum and OJ... "breakfast of champions" We had  ONE MESSAGE for Dennis... LEAVE BRIAN ALONE... OR WILL BE BACK!!! Dennis never bothered Brian again... this is just part of the first chapter of my book "WIPEOUT" entitled "HAD TO PHONE YA"      

    "THANK YOU IAN...! 

Historically, the deepest secrets are kept for the longest time. They take the longest to surface. It has taken three and a half decades for the collective unconscious to be ready to hear the shadows point of view.
The music business is fickle and cruel, to say the least, and then there are the voices Brian Wilson hears in his head...

In my book "WIPEOUT'" It is replete with rather racy recollections of movie and rock stars, rich people, and royalty. It is a story of deceit and betrayal, the excesses of ego, where greed and jealousy run riot and family members are fair game. Brian Wilson, the ever fragile golden goose, is fleeced again and again by his rapacious first cousin, Mike Love, who later turns his poisonous venom on his younger brother and then Beach Boys manager, Stephen.
