Upcoming BW interview in Village Voice (June 8)

[juggler]

Brian Wilson's interview with the Voice's Stacey Anderson will appear in our June 8 issue, just in time for his sold-out residency at Highline Ballroom June 11-13. During the shows, the reclusive genius will perform last year's album of George Gershwin standards, Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, as well as select Beach Boys hits.

While speaking with Anderson today, Wilson denied the rumor that the Beach Boys will reunite next year in celebration of their 50th anniversary, as reported in Rolling Stone and by the BBC.

"I don't know anything about that," he said. "I don't really [have a relationship with the other members] right now, and I'm not really interested in them."

The June 8 issue of the Village Voice will contain the full interview with Wilson, which covers his likely retirement from touring, the painful memories that mar this year's long-awaited release of Smile, and the songwriting lessons he learned from George Gershwin.

So you're giving a thumbsup to the fact that juggler says it doesn't sound like Brian was in a great mood? What kind of ghoul are you?!

He's a bad beach boys fan, he's a masochistic freak who gets off on Brian's suffering. Doesn't he know Brian Wilson is a delicate little flower who needs to be nurtured and protected? Let's round up a pity-posse and teach him a lesson.

I am thinking he may have been giving the thumbs up for the no reunion part!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Ahh that makes sense.

yeah, that's exactly what we'd all expect from donkey like you.

[Paulos]

The same old problem with Brian interviews, ask him  the same thing next week and he'll probably say he is interested in a reunion.

Someone's been going heavy on the vinegar and water around here...

Well considering some of the stuff you've posted on this board in response to anyone who doesn't share your dislike of Mike Love (or "Myke", as you so childishly call him) you have no room to talk. I'm living on borrowed time; I don't have any more patience for you and Fishmonk disrespecting people.

Please do not take that tone with me.

I believe if you read your posts, you have an equally checkered past -douche, ghoul? How does hypocrite sound???

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Oh, i"m just returning the favor. You people started this merda first, I'm just tired of biting my tongue...er...fingers (cause I'm typing )

But whatever. Quit being so damn snarky and disrespectful towards those who don't hate "Myke" and "Bruth" as much as you.

[onkster]

OK, everybody, can we please get back to the fun of discussing BBs? Let's not turn this place into the friggin' 910! 

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Works for me!

The same old problem with Brian interviews, ask him  the same thing next week and he'll probably say he is interested in a reunion.

Yeah.

[Chris Moise]

Heh, I'll keep that in mind next time you argue that a 1966 Smile was going to have movements becasue Brian told Peter Reum that in 1982   

[drbeachboy]

I never said that. I said that there may have been a possibility and that Brian followed through with the idea in 2004. We all know that there is money to be made, the Beach Boys will make it, no matter what Brian says at the moment.

[Peter Reum]

The tone of this thread is really disingenuous. Smile was neither sequenced nor even conceptually finished in 1966-7. As radical as Brian changed production values from Smile to Smiley Smile in1967....it is neither out of the realm of possibilty nor unrealistic to conclude that his ideas were fluid back then.  I see Brian in the contact I had with him through the years as a survivor, a man who coped with the forces pushing him to move a certain direction or another. Therefore, it is certainly reasonable to entertain the idea that at different points through the year, back in 1966, Smile could have been BOTH a 12 track album and an idea moving toward his 2004 work. The black and white thinking with respect to how Brian works adapting to peoples` expectations of him is simply not how he has historically coped with people demanding more from him.

Hey, if you have such a problem with the remarks made to you on here...you can always report them to a moderator.

@Peter

People see that unofficial back album cover with the out of sequence tracklisting and are convinced that this is the only way that it could ever be, or that no other songs could be added or subtracted. Had Brian finished the album and released it later in the Summer of 67, there is no telling with that extra time what changes he might of made.

i think the difference is if that's what brian wanted to do. maybe deep down he wanted to do the 3 part thing, but thought it'd be too much at that time. y'never knoow
