New interview with Brian in latest Uncut.

[The Shift]

Pot plant = plant in a plant pot. Potted plant, whatever. Hadn't realised it was primarily a soley British expression. It's a British mag so they'd use a British phrase. Nothing to do with grass (not the lawn stuff… not as in law n' order… oh you know what I mean!)

Al's story about recording Come Go With Me with Brian coming down in his robe, does that add up chronologically? Was the home studio still around for when CGWM was first recorded?

In a much earlier interview, late 70s I think, Alan stated that they rented a mobile unit at Brian's house, but only he showed up to use it, so he pleased himself. No mention of Brian  showing up.

Ah, thanks! I have a vague memory of having read that before now that you mention it.

Mark - thanks so much for the work involved in sharing and posting. 

Among the most interesting for me is this, second column, on p. 27, in the main article, under "How does he feel now?"...'It is also believed that he was far less forthcoming after a 1967 story in Cheetah magazine by Jules Siegel recounting the aborted Smile project, which Brian felt was a betrayal of trust, he's rarely opened up since the late '60's.'"

Brian's reflections...very candid, I think.

Thanks again for posting.

Well, not a very insightful interview. Some people might have a chance at approaching Brian in a way that makes him open up and deliver more of himself, but this guy just came in and started plucking through his questions. Brian was quite obviously not interested at all.

the Wilson family home is architecturally a homage to the region’s spanish heritage, with its white stucco exterior, red-tiled roof and balconies ringing the second storey palms and pot plants are arranged around the grounds.

That jumped right out at me, too.  I thought "Good grief - Brian's growing pot again!"

In face, the Uncut interviewer seems to enjoy pointing out Brian's lack of interest with being interviewed.  It's true, unfortunately, as I imagine Brian's biggest issue with interviews is the the repetition of same answers he forces out each time.  He doesn't like to pretend he's enjoying himself, as we've seen in various uncomfortable public appearances since Love and Mercy's release last year.  Many journalists are simply too young to have an appreciation and grasp of Brian's long career and accomplishments.  I wonder how frequently he'll do interviews this year.  Wish he didn't have to.

Maybe he is!

I live in the UK and don't use the term 'pot plant'.  In the scene in question I would say 'plant pots', which would mean plants in pots or potted plants.  Who knows!

I wonder when was the last time Brian toked up on a weed stick? Possibly the Landy era?
