I understand this is a piece on Brian Wilson but I bristle at anyone genuflecting towards Landy.  Brian is a gentleman who wouldn't deride anyone publicly but the stuff about Landy serving his purpose by putting him on a diet?  The immediate thought that comes to mind is that dieticians can do the same thing without the Ft. Knox type lockdown.  From everything I've read and granted I haven't read reviews from all of his celebrity clients but Landy really never seemed to help anyone in the end.

I want to see this interview. the one where he's interviewing himself in the mirror..

Landy, played by played by Saving Private Ryan and ­Sideways actor Paul Giamatti in Love and Mercy, died in 2006 and Brian, despite what had gone on, was heartbroken.

Asked if his life got better after the death, he replies surprisingly: “No, not really.”

Considering Brian hadn't seen Landy in well over a decade when he died,  is it really that surprising that Brian's life didn't get any better after 2006? I wonder how that question was worded to Brian...

And Brian doesn't seem like the kind of person who would think something as dark as "I'm glad he's dead" either.  What a weird question to ask.

In the end no, but Landy did probably save Brian's life. Brian was in very very bad shape and needed a lot of help, Landy provided that. Sadly it went on far too long and got far too complicated.

Review makes it read like Landy was there from the mid 70s to early 90s in one big block. Also, the whole 'spent three years in bed' is simply not true.

The Mirror is one of the UK's many dreadful tabloid newspapers, only distinguishable from the rest because it doesn't blame immigrants for every crime under the sun

I think any dietician would have medically treated Brian better than Landy did, but in fact at the time they could not do it without the Ft. Knox type lockdown.

I didn't know that he smoked that much (5 packs a day) after Landy.

That look doesn't surprise me. The Lakers suck this year, and Golden State is the best team in the west. So, I assume they were getting killed.
