ok kid. Write from the heart, use direct evidence of musical and lyrical content, ponder the deep cultural meaning and philosophical significance of what the Beach Boys have written, and support where necessary from the available scholars. Also of course, I am sure that you know, that assignment was of course one of my own. I hate to step out of character but in real life I am of course an actual professor as well.

Any updates on your work, Mr. Kid? Good idea, certainly, I only don't get how you're going to use board members as sources - by their real names (which ofc they'll tell you in PMs) or "the professor", "the captain" etc.?

Thank you Mr. Cohen and the professor!! Those posts will really help me get the ball rolling on this paper.
A sage word of advice from a sage old sage: do
NOT
post the final draft here unless you have the skin of a dinosaur and the soul of a zombie. It will be held up to the light, dissected, ridiculed, generally trashed and ultimately found entirely wanting.
And that's just by me.

As an aside from all the sage advice here, references from well-known peers are available in a number of places. The Leonard Bernstein TV special from 1966-67 or so that featured Brian and "Surf's Up" holds some weight. I know David Leaf quoted a number of well-known celebrities in the "Beautiful Dreamer" video and "Tribute to Brian Wilson" video and I think in liner notes for box sets as I recall. These are just off the top of my head, but they can be googled - Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin and lots of artists citing the influence through today.

In typical BB fashion, I decided to scrap this great paper.
As it turns out the captain was correct, at least for the direction this essay is supposed to take. It turns out that my teacher is a huge fan of Pet Sounds and SMiLE, so he gets what they did. If I had a different teacher that was less familiar with what the BBs did, I think I could have still written the paper. I even continued to do it after he told me it wouldn't be a good idea, but I eventually got the message lol.

So what? You hand this paper to the teacher, but before, don't you present it in front of the students? I.e. 'tell to the masses' thing? I think it's
your
business, not teacher's what or what not to write about. You give up too quick.
And of course, nobody is dying to see your final draft. Wouldn't it be too long to share? A bit redundant "sage advice".

2500 words? I think you should hire AGD to write it for you...he's got more than enough hot air to go around.
