>A few things I found out, not just by listening, but I did play them on the piano<

I wonder if these songs inspired one another:
It's Too Late (Carol King) (circa 1971)
<-> Caroline, No (BB, in the original Key from the Pet Sounds Box) (1966)
<-> Walk On By (Bacharach) (196?)
Although the tempos and rhytms are different, the chords and the (sad) moods are very similar.


And what about these?
When Girls Get Together = a slow motion variation of Heroes & Villains?
Heroes & Villains in 3/4 measure = Tulips From Amsterdam?

I read in a book that Brian was playing "Mack The Knife" on piano, fiddled around with it and came up with "Help Me Rhonda". I forget where I read it.

"Help me rhonda" comes from "Fanny mae"

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.
