Smile Sessions wins a grammy!!!

[FUN³]

why did they feel the need to have someone holding his hand while he was up there? social ettiquette reasons? let the man do what he wants. he appeared ambivalent and ready to bolt; understandably so. NARAS can suck it...what a joke. they should have dedicated the whole damn ceremony to him and america's band!

That's Dennis Wolfe, one of Brian's co-winners (if I remember the video correctly).

My guess is because his back is still giving him trouble.

That's all and good man but we're talking about a guy who's had some serious psychological issues in his life.  Maybe he asked somebody to hold his hand?  We don't know what's going on.

It was mentioned that he was recovering from a procedure done on his back.

Must have been pretty serious since that's been the excuse for a good while

Guys, once again: when Brian was on stage before (and after?) accepting the Grammy that wasn't some 'extra guy' who was hired to hold Brian's hand but one of his co-winners, one of the guys we have to thank for the SMiLE SESSIONS. He simply was kind enough to (not only physically) assist a somewhat frail Brian up on stage. You know how he is with crowds, cameras and stuff. A bad back will do the rest.

What's the point? What's the need to make a comment like this? Does it make you feel good?

Looked to me like Brian was nervous and wanted to be reassured by someone he knew and trusted. So he chose to hold hands with both of his collaborators. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think much of the Grammys but I'm sure glad Brian was around to get this award. I think it means a lot to him.

makes me feel good. nothing wrong in stating facts (forgetting the lifetime achievement award they all got). and both of brian's have to do with smile. karma indeed.

I saw Brian fall last year in Raleigh, NC, putting his bass on for the encore.  It had to have hurt him physically - and embarrassed him.  I don't blame him for wanting the security of a couple of folks holding onto him up on the Grammy stage.

That's terrible..

I wonder why he just doesn't use a walking stick, Brian would look cool with one of those pimp canes..

Prince used one at this years Grammy's

Yes, facts are facts.  Hurray for that. Wow, Brian has two Grammys and Mike doesn't have any.  Stop the presses. What a news flash. That's not my point.  My point was, what compels people to make unnecessary, childish comments like that.  it adds nothing to the conversation and just makes a person look small and petty.  There's enough of that going around already.

This win kind of reminds me of my uncle in a way. He was a huge Beach Boys fans and would always sing the falsetto parts (not well though  )

In 2000, he died of complications relating to cancer. He was only 43. a couple of years later I bought Pet Sounds and was mesmerized.

But it was a few years after that that really got me hooked. I was sitting in my "bachelor pad" at home (my uncle's former side appartment.) I saw a tape and put it into my 2XL (got as a Christmas gift in the Nineties, still got it  )

When I heard Heroes, I went nuts. I eventually found Purple Chick's SMiLE and I got addicted.

Congrats to Brian and everyone who made SMiLE possible.

Didn't Mike hold Brian's hand when they walked out for a talk show appearance several months ago?  I think it's kind of sweet that Brian isn't self-conscious about having another guy hold his hand for assistance. He could have insisted on some scantily clad female beauty. They weren't in short supply at the Grammys. Not sure Melinda would have cared for that, though.

Karma, right?  Like the same Karma that gave Brian a mental disorder and Mike perfect health?  Shut the f*** up. 

[Chocolate Shake Man]

I'm not surprised it won. Of course it won. It's Smile.

My words exactly. What kind of BBs fan could someone be doubting about TSS' getting Grammy award & saying other nominees more deserve it?  

It surprises the hell out of me, not because I underestimate the Beach Boys but because I underestimate the Grammy's.

I read in a tabloid a while back that Prince had to have hip replacement surgery, and was extremely embarassed about it.  It is kind of sad seeing someone like him who's always been so youthful, and hip, and exciting grow old!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't The Beach Boys win a lifetime Grammy a few years ago?

Also, a few people have been remembering Carl with these recent awards and recognition. I have, too. Carl was a huge, huge part of it. But, don't forget how Carl really felt about the Grammy's. He wrote a song about them on his first solo album.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Didn't that have something to do with Billy Joel's point of view rather than carl's own?

I'm not following you. Could you elaborate?

The lyrics were supposedly based on a billy Joel rant.

Interesting. I'd never heard that.
