Once upon a time, the Beach Boy world was told that Brian was saved from self destruction by Dr. Eugene Landy. Many years later, a film appears that seems to tell us that Brian was saved by Melinda Ledbetter.

And once upon a time people thought the world was flat.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

The film says this as well.

As far as the "Melinda saving Brian" thing goes, I was *slightly* skeptical some time back about whether that would end up being Hollywood-ized a little bit in the film. That is, until Ray Lawlor posted a detailed explanation of exactly what Melinda did and the role she played.

Frankly, given what Ray posted, the movie arguably *downplays* how much she did simply because it has to compress events and time so much.

It doesn't seem all that long ago, though, that folks on this board were speculating that Brian was just being pushed into these various projects, almost against his will.

Board opinion seems to sway like a wheatfield in a breeze. Direction sometimes depends on who blows hardest. Sometimes the truth blows, other times the truth sucks. As Dylan said, the answer… etc

So i was going thru my copy of The Underground Dictionary, and i saw this: Evan n 1. Someone you love very much; someone whom you wish to spend time with. 2. A very bright, smart, enjoyable young man.

Also, i think this should've been a scene in Love & Mercy. From a 1991 article http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1991-11-17/entertainment/9104140084_1_eugene-landy-stan-love-separate-ways Although the case is scheduled to go to court Monday, Wilson says it may not get that far, partially because of a recent meeting between Wilson and Carl at a hotel near the Los Angeles airport.

``Just me and Carl . . .`` Wilson says. ``Just two brothers. We were singing. There was a piano there. We were doing our vocals.``

The brothers sang some old Beach Boys classics-including ``Wild Honey``

and ``Aren`t You Glad`` and ``Darlin` ``-that haven`t been heard much in the past 15 years as the group has become chiefly a surf-and-car nostalgia act.

I haven't had a chance to read through this whole thread. But I believe every side should have the right to be heard. For example, Evan denies that Brian's phone calls were blocked. I don't know the truth, because I wasn't there. Is it possible Brian associated his family with bad memories and didn't wish to talk to them? Yes. Is it possible that Eugene manipulated Brian's phone calls? Yes. One thing Evan said though that is probably true is how Brian has always been dependant on approval. From Murray, Marilyn, Eugene to Melinda. The two women seem to have treated him the best. Murray, who was also abusive, sold the Beach Boys publishing rights. I wonder if he was any better than Eugene. If he were given full control of Brian, would he have taken the same kind of advantage of Brian that Eugene did? Who knows.

Read Howie's post. The operative word: CRIMINALS. This guy was a part of that operation; he wasn't sitting in the corner watering the plants. Ask yourself the following question : why would anyone change someone else's will , making themselves the major beneficiary , unless you planned on outliving them , and passing on that wealth to your heirs. What other possible reason could you have ?

 As far as Brian's phone calls being blocked , this guy is full of sh it. They were blocked, they were monitored. Here is a bit of intel for you.  Do you know how Melinda got Audree's telephone number ? From her car cell phone bill; the only place Brian could make a phone call without having one of these goons monitoring it.

This guy is lucky he didn't end up in the slammer .

Truth.

Sometimes I try to see the other side if in fact there is amything. You are absolutely right about Brian's will, though. No excuse for that!
