Answer to AGD - Airplane thread

[schiaffino]

Since I don't know if AGD will go back to the Airplane thread and see my answer, I post it here:

John Stebbins
The Beach Boys FAQ
Chapter 12, first paragraph
e-book version

I also attach a snapshot of the original discussion:

@Moderators: unlike AGD, I'm not being aggressive with anyone in this board. I just want to set the record straight and make sure he got my answer. I'm not the kind of person that criticizes someone for the sake of it and leaves everything an open topic. I like closing discussions in a proper and respectful way.

Hence why I created this post, I hope you understand.

Thanks.

Currently, I'm away from my research materials, thus I cannot confirm or deny your claim.

As for creating a special thread for the express purpose of trying to make me look... what ? Petty ?  Aggressive  ?  Dismissive ?  Arrogant ? Whatever, that's pretty pathetic, wouldn't you agree ?  Pointless, certainly.

I wanted to make sure you got my reply, Andrew. That's all. And wanted some respect from you when I post in this Board.

I'm not an expert as you are, but I dont make up stuff about the BBs. The little I know, I've read it from books and/or from people like you in this board. I sincerely appreciate your concern for accuracy regarding the BBs history, but when you reply to me the way you did in that thread, I believe I have the right to set the record straight.

And that's what I did. Nothing else.

I do not wish to escalate anything with you, sir.

Why not do this via PM?

Why not do this via PM?

Too late for that, wouldn't you agree?

AGD isn't an expert...just a blowhard who is constantly and coyly hinting at behind the scenes knowledge that he doesn't actually have in order to appear more important than he is.

Just as pathetic as making a new thread for the sole purpose of needling Carol Kaye some more, I'd say.

Yes, but he's our blowhard.

The positivity in this thread is off the charts.

[Compost]

I approve of this thread.

[Michael Edward Osbourne]

I like this thread a lot more than the recent Beatle related ones.

[Mikie]

I like every poster on this thread!

Well...some do tend to 'talk' to others here with  W A Y more 'balls'  than they would EVER have the balls to do so with IN PERSON.  I kind of try and shoot the breeze with the crew here [or there] the way I would if we were just sittin' around a table or along the bar in some decent little watering hole.

Maybe some of us get 'over-served' occaisionally.

If you find someone in the 'bar' here is a bit of a dink...there are plenty more tables and chairs right here under this very roof.

'Scuse me though.  I gotta take a leak.  You know...drain the lizzard...shake the piss outta 'shorty'.

Order me a double. 

[The LEGENDARY OSD]

Yes! This thread has aggression, dismissiveness, arrogance ( ), and certainty. Above all, it possesses all that is required to drill a legitimate message home to his holiness. Fetch my slippers, Hives.

As I don't have this Stebbins book, what is the exact wording? Was it from a Brian interview or an opinion?

[The Cincinnati Kid]

A quick Google search found me this:

Shake the piss outta 'shorty'.

I know you're speaking for yourself, there, Lee.....

[Lee Marshall]

Absolutely.

The topic and original intent of this thread is a self-centered grandstand about a personal grievance that should, as Billy correctly pointed out, have remained a PM - instead it's predictably become an opportunity for some snipy trolling to add to the axe-grinding - suprise, suprise.

Let's leave it to the OP to sort out with Andrew - via PM if he wants to avoid "escalations" as claimed.

Thank you Alan...appreciate the backup!
