Not really suggesting that Brian is happy about it Pretty Funky. I''m just, as I have since 'it' happened, wondering WTF's 'up' with THAT? Certainly NOT a "best friend" move. UNLESS... ... ...
Unless...it's OK.
Yes CenturyDeprived...that sure is a BAD boot-camp 'look'. And when I say "bad" I mean it in the traditional sense. Although shaving his back sure worked. Brian looks to be in pretty good physical condition as well. bgas's pic, candid as it is, confirms for certain what many have debated, argued and pondered over for decades...ie:...that Brian actually named his 'pecs' Carnie and Wendy...after his daughters. It's how he was able to tell left from right during that specific era. The sweat-shirt confirms that I was, as usual, wrong.
It also confirms that 'the little fella' was NOT Al.

He said he is happy about it and I would hope they are still good friends. For Brian to call him his 'best friend' should make Jeff pretty special I think.
Posted 05/16/14
Yesterday, I found out that Jeff has decided to tour with Mike Love's bb. I think it's great since he really loved touring with Mike and the boys back in the day. He made it clear at the end of the JB tour he would be moving on. I wish him the best and I'm happy for him.
As for me, I'm busy in the studio working on my new album. A couple months ago I asked Matt Jardine to tour with my band and he accepted. He's a great guy and I love his voice. He's busy working with Paul and Darian and eager to get started. All good!!
- Brian

Good to know PF. I'm sure that Jeff will help the Beach Boys to sound better...or should I say even better?

A quote from AGD from the previous Brian autobiography thread (

):
Quote from: Andrew G. Doe on April 18, 2013, 12:12:02 PM
You're making a very basic error here - assuming that Brian will be actually writing the book, or even directing the overall flow. I'm willing to wager a large sum that the compositional process will follow this basic framework:
1 - Co-author does the research and makes a list of topics to be covered...
2 - Brian is interviewed...
3 - Based on Brian's responses, Fine produces a rough-cut...
4 - Brian - or more likely, his 'people' - review this and request changes, inclusions and excisions...
5 - Fine 'remixes' his text...
6 - Text is reviewed again...
7 - steps 5 & 6 are repeated until the text is deemed acceptable by Brian's management...
8 - book is published...
9 - we tear it apart...
10 - lawsuits commence.
I'm always pleased to hear about a new book regarding the Beach Boys. I'm almost always pleased to read these new books. But I harbor no illusion that this will be anymore an unfiltered look into the life of Brian anymore than the first "autobiography" was. The filters this time around may have better intentions, but they are filters none the less.

Nothing will really top Peter Carlins book in my opinion

Did that happen in 1991 ? No. Will it happen in 2015 ? No.
BTW, while I applaud the non-use of an obvious BB related phrase/song title... that's really not a good title.
And no, I can't think of a better one so I'll STFU now.

Well said. I agree about the filters, further applied now the content is set to include celebrity contributions.
Still, alloting a book shelf space for it in quiet anticipation.

Crosby's autobiography,
Long Time Gone
, was a similar format. Croz contributed about a third, co-author Carl Gottleib handled another third and the rest was from other folk in his life (e.g. Grace Slick, Nash, Stills, Barncard) ... and it's a damn fine - if scary - read. So, not a problem for me.
One thing that does bother me is the Amazon release referring to someone who's not played with Brian for over a year as his bandleader and best friend. I can easily think of four people who could dispute the latter most vocally.

Brian's camp have made no secret of it from day one that it will be written in collaboration with Jason Fine. You must have missed that memo.

Speaking of the format used for David Crosby's book and now possibly Brian's - as both men went through decades of drug abuse, it may be that there are chunks of their lives that they simply don't remember and need others to fill in the blanks. Doesn't David Bowie have a 2 year blank spot from the 1970s?

I can't wait to finally have a copy of Brian's new book! I still have the first one, "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story" with Todd Gold. I couldn't put that crazy and bogus book down when I first got it even though I suspected that Brian didn't really write it. Damn, the stories in that one...Mike Love and the world's largest turd (14 inches apparently), Mike Love getting beat up by an angry proprietor who stuck a gun in his face, Brian and Loren walking down the street while tripping and seeing an old man that Brian convinced himself was God...yeah that was a weird book. It certainly left me with an uneasy feeling.
