Considering the bio's on hold, the topics cold for now. Would love to know whats really going on.

Good point.

In that case, I'm going to close this and will reopen when there is some actual news that I (or anyone else) can share.

Is there any doubt that her memories will be a big part of Brian's book?

I'm almost finished John Fogerty's book.  He actually had his 2nd wife Julie contribute to some of the later chapters. 

While not quite to the same extreme as Melinda and Brian, Julie Fogerty was very helpful to John, and helped entice him to go back into music and start playing CCR songs in concert again.

To paraphrase  that great philosopher Chevy Chase:"I am Brian Wilson and you're not" A better title and there was a time when everybody would have thought of that.Or maybe they did and just thought better of posting it

I think a better title would be "I Was Brian Wilson" - distinguishing between the legend/myth and the real person.

Awesome! Let us know how it is.

Also, if I may throw my own alternate title into the mix: "I Am Also Not Spock"

I'm around 100 pages in. No big revelations, but it's a compelling read. It really capture's Brian's voice. Not a linear narrative - lots of tangents and circling back.

And at least three references to Scott Bennett that will probably not make the final cut.

If you can, let us know how the C50 situation is portrayed.

284 pages. It's a review copy, so no photos at all.

It would be a shame if the recent circumstances lead to those references being cut.  Scott Bennett is still a big part of Brian's recent history. 

And I doubt there'll be no references to other unsavory characters like Phil Spector and Eugene Landy, both of whom play roles in the BW story.

He's just been mentioned along with other band members occasionally. But there hasn't been anything about That Lucky Old Sun yet.
