Oy, I got my Jimmys mixed up.  They don't look or sound alike, either.

Never saw this.

Thanks for that!  Not as bad as I was expecting.  What was so bad...?

He was making those snarling faces at the end of the song, which I imagine was off-putting for the daytime housewife audience watching at home.

Good question.

Awkward interview... check!
Missed cues... check!

seems like the usual to me!

That's true. I guess he couldn't help it, eh?

Me neither. Thank you !

I think Brian is sweet during the interview

[Justin]

Yeah I did notice the nervous tics but didn't think that ruined anything...I'll have to see that Letterman appearance to see how bad it could really get....

I thought the interview was charming. He apologized and said he was nervous. Never seen him do that before--an unusual acknowledgement of how the audience was perceiving him. Overall he seemed in pretty good form.

[Lowbacca]

I love how Darian is constantly grinning behind Brian and laughing out as Brian tries to figure out the computer/website thing.

[I. Spaceman]

There are probably people here who think Brian's appearance on Mike Douglas in 76 was great.

Not great, but pretty interesting.

I cannot bring myself to watch the view.  It was all I could do to wade through QVC.

I like the version of Back Home he does there.  Especially if you compare it to the SNL version, it's pretty good.

Here's Brian on Kimmel....a great appearance. Brian is very talkative and at ease.

He's also lip syncing. Just saying.

Mike Love rocked that 360 spin.

I thought it was funny the way he started to answer about Pet Sounds. "Let me say this about that".

Ummm....I think you got it confused with the View performance, where he was indeed lip syncing.


I vaguely remember the Letterman thing. Can someone please elaborate?

That summer Letterman's band kept playing Beach Boys songs as they led into commercial. Somebody got the bright idea that Brian should sit in with them and sing. He sat facing the wall and would sing a few lines here and there but generally gave up prematurely (before they fully cut to commercial) and coming in late (they'd return from commercial to find Brian sitting there doing nothing, then suddenly starting to sing again as if someone nudged him with a broomstick to wake him up). One of the guest was an actress (Liz Hurley? Can't remember) and she commented during her interview segment that she was a fan of Brian's so they cut to Brian and naturally he didn't hear her and had his back to her anyway (since he was facing the wall) so it took like 5 people to call to him before they got his attention and he turned his head and gave a half-hearted smile in the actresses general direction.

The whole thing was a nightmare. It was uncomfortable to watch. And it looks like there was fallout, because Brian never went back on the show. I'm glad the footage can't be found, it should remain lost and unseen. Only some sort of sick masochist would find enjoyment in watching a 65 year old man being tortured on national television.

That sounds pretty bad, but Letterman's had some odd/tough guests before and had them back. Two notable examples being Joaquin Phoenix, who was acting bizarrely aloof and unresponsive to anything Dave tried, and Crispin Glover, who actually tried to attack Dave. Both were invited back and Letterman was totally fine with it. Considering he seems to be a big music fan--I mean, the guy had Captain Beefheart on more than once, there's no way his producer could have been happy about that--so I assume he'd love to give Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, the seminal American band, another shot. Plus, he's in the know, as are his people, so they'd be aware that if Mike's there, he'll be fielding 95% of the questions.

[Ron]

It's not that big of a deal, I don't think.... I saw Slash on Letterman, almost the exact same thing happened.  He was sitting in with the band, and everytime they'd say something to him, he wouldn't heart it, and appeared 'out of it'... I'm not a die-hard Slash fan but I didn't think any less of him after seeing that, I just thought it was all good fun and Lettterman being goofy and taking a goofy idea too far like he always does. 

So my point is: that apperance didn't damage Brian in the public's eye, it was just a goofy idea that didn't work too well. 

[Mr. Cohen]

God, that was horrible. Why don't you just stuff Brian and put some puppet strings on him already?

[Mr. Cohen]

I mean, seriously, try to imagine young, 20 something Brian making all the sad faces he does here. Picture that despondent face at that age - it's heartbreaking. We try to normalize it, but it's so unfortunate. This has sapped my enthusiasm for the comeback. I don't want to be a spectator to this.

Yeah, but Phoenix and Glover were clearly doing characters Andy Kaufman style. Glover was playing his character from Rubin and Ed or somesuch. Phoenix was gathering material for his bullshit doc.

Brian is no Tony Clifton!
