I'd love to hear the original version of "Keepin The Summer Alive". Wonder if an early Brucified mix exists.

Totally psyched to read this special edition. Loved all the interviews.
Some impressions:
Brian continues to back away from the "genius" label. I don't blame him. That's a lot of pressure to live up to.
Bruce is a bit prickly, ain't he?
David seems fairly charitable to Murry. I know a lot of people just put his abusive behavior down to his being a product of his time. Parenting must have changed when I grew up in the 60's then, because, while spanking was OK, beating never was.
Alan Boyd has a great job, doesn't he?
I fail to see the difference between spanking and beating. I grew up in the 60's too, and a spanking was a beating. A smack in the puss wasn't off limits either, though rarely done. That was the parenting style back then, as mentioned by Dave in the article. I had a few friends who used to get a belt whipping, but my mother used to absolutely forbid it in my house, having gone through that with her father, as a kid. My father would threaten it by taking the belt off and snapping it. That was quite enough to get our full and undivided attention.

Don't forget Bruce is a rock hard Republican capitalist.

Shouldn't this quote just about clear up countless reams of threads?
Brian Wilson
: Well, Mike had music ideas besides lyrics. So he helped me out with the music and his lyrics were really really creative. Some of my favorite Mike lyrics are California Girls, Good Vibrations and Do it Again was another great one that we wrote. I also like Warmth of the Sun. that was a very sweet and sorrowful song.

I don't think much of what Brian says in a given interview can clear much up, as he usually contradicts some or most of it later on, depending on a whole slew of factors.

Most interesting to me is the AB and MLinterview and discussing vault tracks, and why certain tracks didn't make the box.

"About ten years later somebody at CBS decided the tapes had to get out of there and rather than go through all of the tapes, they sent somebody over there with a bandsaw and cut all the reels in half and threw them into the dumpster. Nobody cared. It’s a shame."
Ugh that killed me
"As a matter of fact, Mike was talking about how one of his dream projects would be a box set with one disc highlighting each of the group members’ strongest moments over the years, which is incidentally something that Mark (Linett) has been wanting to do for many years too."

Yeah, really terrific stuff from everybody. Kudos to the interviewers. Nice to see Bruce plugging Bill Yerkes' book--while we've had just a ton of great material from Jon and Ian, Mark Dillon, etc. (and we still await you, Mike Eder!!!), that photo book from the 60s tours is a really nice piece of work. Bruce's comment about Dennis writing songs to pick up chicks is pretty darned funny!
And, let's note, a lot of very solid kudos passed out to Mike for his efforts in support of MIC.

"I did not like the Friends album because I thought it was wimpy. I don’t think we were doing anything where Brian was at full strength. We had to do some of the Friends stuff on the road and it just used to make me wince because it was wimpy."
-Bruce
This coming from the guy who wrote "Tears In The Morning"?
I was gonna come on here and trash Bruce for the "wimpy" thing as well, but you know what? Yeah, he wrote wimpy stuff, which I'm sure he will admit. But I think what he liked from Brian was his more dynamic stuff. And dynamic doesn't necessarily mean uptempo. It could mean anything from "Wouldn't It Be Nice" to "Surf's Up" to "Surfin' U.S.A." to "Caroline No" to whatever. And to be honest,
Friends
really isn't that dynamic. So I can see what he's saying. Honestly, for all the their albums from
Pet Sounds
through
Holland
, I'd say that
Friends
is my least favorite. The vibe is okay, but I kinda do agree that the songs themselves aren't really there, which I don't think I would say about Brian's work on any of the other albums around this time period. Honestly, I think he did the whole
Friends
type sound better on "I Went To Sleep" from
20/20
.
Also, what a great interview from him. I feel like you really get a better vibe for the background of each album from Bruce's interviews then you do from Brian or Mike.
Leaving aside the hypocrisy of Bruce 'Tears In The Morning' Johnston's comment, I just think his description of Friends as "wimpy" is just plain inaccurate. Friends is laid-back, it's mellow, but wimpy? Nah. (It's also incredibly creative and artistically inventive, but we're just talking vibes here so I wont go into that...)

Thank you. I do have good news in that I will be preparing a proposal in about a month. In other words it might FINALLY come out next year.

Who knew that Bruce was such a big fan of Smiley Smile? I thought it was said that he had very little to do with it, so I was surprised (and delighted) to see him singing Smiley's praises. Also had no idea that he was instrumental in getting Blondie and Ricky onboard, that normally gets attributed to Al and Carl.

Lookin' at tomorrow
When girls get together

Busy doin' nothin'
Matchpoint of our love
Hold on dear brother
I don't wanna know

Let's go away for a while
She's goin' bald
Everyone's in love with you
I'm so lonely
She believes in love again
Make it good

The "Bruce's finest moments" disc would leave about 50 minutes of space for hidden tracks, I estimate...

Yeah, I gotta agree with AGD here, I met Alan about a year ago, and it seems like he's the "Carl" of the group now, not musically (though Boyd is so underratedly musically talented), anyways, during the making of MIC, he had to be the bridge between Mike's camp and Brian's camp, which couldn't be an easy task.
Let alone, we all know what health condition Alan was in about a year ago this past summer, I wouldn't blame it on one person or situation, but you could trace what was going on in BB world and Alan's health and possibly notice a correlation.
But besides that, I know it would be fun going into the vaults for audio and film.
I think he should write a book!

Just read the Bruce interview - very interesting. I think he's dead on right about the Warmth of the Sun being Brian and Mike's best moment, and possibly the Beach Boys. As much as I love everything the Beach Boys have done, it is undeniable that their LEGACY and what will live on forever is their mid-60s output. The brilliance of Warmth of the Sun reminds me what the universal meaning of the Beach Boys is (e.g. it's not the squabbling, it's not the reunion, it's not really anything post Good Vibrations). Although it's disappointing that the post GV era is not generally appreciated, I think we can celebrate the fact that early to mid 60s work has left an indelible imprint on American culture.
ANYWAY, this struck me as pretty interesting, and would love to hear what he had intended the KTSA song to sound like:
"It would have been a great rebuilding track for the band. Carl wrote that song with Randy Bachman. I decided this is like Jan & Dean’s Surf City meets Bachman Turner Overdrive except we’re gonna record it. I had that thing exploding; I had drums for days. It was very powerful. But Carl came in and made it gentler, unfortunately. He made it so light that I lost all the muscle of probably the only up-tempo track from that album that could have been a radio record. That would have been a great hit, Beach Boys with a Bachman Turner Overdrive groove. Man, I’m so frustrated about that!"
PS - it is annoying how he goes out of his way to basically put Brian and Mike on the same level. But whatever. It's probably true that for years Mike did not get his due for the lyrics that he did contribute.
