Does it make you sad?

[Gohi]

I think to call Brian Wilson a flat out 'junkie' is a mistake- you need to look his life from different perspectives and from different time periods. Of course this is more opinion based from an outsider's view than anything - but Brian's drug taking in the mid 60s seemed to be farther than anything resembling junkie status - he was more intellectually stimulating musically and creatively than ever before. He was tuned in. I love reading interviews and articles about him from this time - surely some of it was Derek Taylor hype, but his attitudes were progressive and he seemed very fast-witted.

His quote/unquote cocaine years are an entirely different thing - it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that he used drugs in that period to take him away from his personal hell.

And, to your above post - Brian is human, far more human than most of us here. He just had a very unique and individual talent. He is no more important than anyone else just because of his fame and I don't think he'd want you to think he is.

His fame?  I don't give a damn about how famous he is. He is above us all his talents puts him on a pedestal ..How could you even compare him to a regular like you? (What gift do you have? ...thank you.  )

Wow, this is really really sad. You will look back on this phase in your fandom and laugh... or wince in embarrassment.

[over and over]

I'm sad that beachboyscentral.com is still not up and running.

Don't be so cruel to me.

T'isn't cruelty,  just confusion, after all the slings that are shot at you, I would be hot-tailing it outta here with my tail between my legs.

Not that I want you to leave..  you just say some unfeeling dumbass things sometimes

I never do it intentionally to disturb or upset any of you. What I said about Brian being above the average person I stand 100% behind.
