That was a better interview than I thought we'd get. Good to know there will be a tour this summer.

"Do you ever see yourself retiring from music?"
"I don’t really know. Maybe this year. I’m not sure."
If that isn't the saddest thing I've read in a long while. What a shame if it is his last year of music, but if true, No Pier Pressure sounds like it'll be a great way to go out.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.
Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Ya. Absolutely...but not surprisingly. The two things which stood out for me?
1..Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): What kind of a sense of humor do you have, Brian?
Brian Wilson: The funny kind. I’m kind of funny.
and 2...Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Do you ever see yourself retiring from music?
Brian Wilson: I don’t really know. Maybe this year. I’m not sure.
"The funny kind". Priceless. and then "maybe this year". Makes tickets for the upcoming tour priceless. It was bound to happen sooner than later. I thought maybe they MIGHT get back togther for year 55 but...Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): Do you see yourself getting back together with the Beach Boys in the future?
Brian Wilson: I don’t know at this time.
That isn't exactly promising. Nothing is impossible but the sands of time are running low. The hourglass is almost empty.
Sad. But in a happy way. GREAT new album...what looks to be an honest and accurate movie...and the book. How can he top that? Maybe there's just nothing left that Brian wants or needs to do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway...he's making an announcement in just about an hour from now. Let's see what he has to say.

My favorite Brian-ism of the interview:
"Melissa Parker (Smashing Interviews Magazine): What kind of a sense of humor do you have, Brian?
"Brian Wilson: The funny kind. I’m kind of funny."
That made my day. No wonder we all love the guy.

I don't think he'll retire in the traditional way. As long as he's happy and healthy with a piano nearby, he'll probably continue to compose. If NPP does well, he may continue to record but perhaps not as often. Touring? Maybe, but count on that being considerably cut back. Bottom line: this is Brian Wilson and only he knows for sure.

I doubt that anyone on this Board, nor anyone the Board is about, is capable of "Normal" at this point. It's over-rated anyway. Boring.

In this and other other interview on a parallel thread today he would not budge at all about the BB future and made no mention of returning to BB work with Mike. Sole focus of all his answers to anything is his solo work, album, movie. Was NPP to be a BB album? No, I changed my mind says BW. How does this relate to Mike's characterization?

Especially if Brian changed his mind in later 2012 after 'it' all ended. Kinda looks like that's 'about' when 'it' happened.

Sole focus of all his answers to anything is his solo work, album, movie. Was NPP to be a BB album? No, I changed my mind says BW. How does this relate to Mike's characterization?
Brian in the Facebook Q&A: "The album has basically been in the making since the end of The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary. I started writing songs for The Beach Boys, but ended up doing a solo album, and I'm really pleased with it. Having all these young, contemporary voices really brought the record to a different level."
So, he started writing songs for a Beach Boys album, but it ended up being a solo album. Exactly as his press release states. No mention of why. No accusations. No blame shifting. Nothing for anyone to take offense about.
It doesn't matter what The Examiner's or Mike's POV is and it doesn't matter if The Beach Boys were actually
discussing
or
talking about
or reviewing contracts on a follow up album. Creatively, Brian was writing songs for The Beach Boys. Things changed. It's now a solo album.

Really Billy?
? Betsy. Come on man!!! Brian was into enlightenment...and not just in '66 either. He, in fact, was into 'older' experiences... like Betsy.
She was born in '32, and was she ever pretty
She rode a freight train west, all the way from Detroit city
Betsy's seen more places than I'll ever hope to see
Betsy's been more loyal than any friend could be
With some she traveled fast, with others it was slow
Betsy's seen them all, she'd seen them come and go
She must have had some others before I finally met her
And now that she's all mine, they'd better just forget her
Betsy was a lady and that she will remain
Betsy took some beatings but she never once complained
She had a classic beauty that everyone could see
I was the last to meet her, but she gave her life to me
She may be rusted iron, but to me she's solid gold
And I just can't hold the tears back
'Cause Betsy's growing old

So folks, if you're gonna fake Brian Wilson letters in order to try to sell them, first check with Andrew to make sure you got your facts right!

My consulting fee for such an enterprise starts at $1000/hour.
Seriously, was that nearly five years ago ? Gosh darn it. Looking over it once again, it would have been a helluva lot quicker to state what was
right
with the letters.
