Brian to 'write' autobiography

[Mike's Beard]

"I write the hooks" The Mike Love Story..

Forward by Bruce Johnston

Excellent! I tried to think up a title that was a pun on I Write the Songs myself but nothing worked.

Great minds!

Not especially funny or anything, but ML's autobiography would surely be called Looking Back With Love.

Has anyone ever tried placing an audio greeting card mechanism in a book? I imagine opening the first page of Mike's biography and hearing "Whhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen".

'Mike Love Like A Man'

You hear me, BRI? I will interview the man and write this book for you.

[SMiLE Brian]

Can I co-write it?

A good title I think.

[Theydon Bois]

Encouraging, in that it suggests that the concerns about the state of his memory are unfounded.

Male Ego is a brilliant name for a Beach Boys book in general. Male Ego: ( Subtitle something something California blah blah here.)

Because that article's just churnalism, mostly cut and pasted from the Guardian article it links, along with some random incorrect stuff like Brian touring with the Beach Boys this summer. Da Capo are publishing it in the US, Coronet in the UK. Maybe Random House Canada are publishing it in Canada, or maybe whoever cut and pasted the article made it up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he looked beyond "Love is a Woman" for Vol. 4  . Actually it'd certainly stir up a wave of publicity for the book... Okay, I probably would be surprised if be didn't use it.

Brian Wilson: My Life Suite, A Labor of Love and Financial Stability

[KittyKat]

It's a press release quoted almost verbatim from Brian's website, no doubt written by Brian's publicist. I don't see how it assures that Brian's memory is intact. I'm also wondering if it's going to be a good thing for Carnie, Wendy, Marilyn, or other people from Brian's past lives.

Having lived with him during some of his worst times, I doubt anything would surprise or shock them now.

I'm interested in what is said about the Landy years. It may be ghost-written, and you know it's going to be slanted , but we'll know definitively what the Official Brian Wilson Camp position on everything is.

As enticing as the thought of a ML autobio or even a new Brian bio may be, I'm really holding out for an Al Jardine book. I should be able to read all 25 pages of it in one sitting.

So will the book dish on why Brian fell out with Andy Paley, Joe Thomas, David Leaf etc...

Nope. Because Brian didn't.

An Al Jardine book would be fascinating and probably the most honest of any of them. He lived through so much crap in his time in the band and it would be fascinating to hear about stuff from his perspective.
