As a fan of The Traveling Wilburys and The Highwaymen, and to a lesser extent the Eric Clapton's Crossroad Guitar Festivals and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame jams, I wish that Brian would be part of a supergroup. Now before you have any Jeff Beck-like visions of Brian sitting on a couch doing nothing, think about it for a minute.

What if it was four or five man group of carefully chosen musicians, musicians that, at least one or two of them, Brian would be comfortable with. The group would have to have a take-charge leader who could "bring out" the unique talents of each member. Maybe Brian's role in the group would be to start off the songs with some basic chords or a melody. Obviously they would look to him for the vocal arrangements. The group would maybe be comprised of older musicians, of varied instruments, and of course have a mutual admiration of each others' work. And, probably being older musicians, they might not be contractually obligated to be churning out solo albums every few months which would give them the free time necessary for such a project.

How does a group comprised of Brian Wilson, Elton John, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young sound? For a one-off album and short tour? OK, it's time to go back to the room... Shocked Cool Guy

Elvis Costello is one I would love to see.  Would also be cool if they wrote songs together given Elvis's success in writing with Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney among others.
I'd like to see Brian work with Elvis, but not that one. The other Elvis could've done a smash up job on "Sail On, Sailor" or "Darlin".

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.
