One is my collaborator, mentor and dearest friend, the legendary John Tobler, who took a raw fanzine contributor under his wing and shaped him into something vaguely resembling a real writer.
The other one is 73 today. Can you imagine a world without Brian Wilson, without Beach Boys music ? I choose not to. What a gray and cheerless place that would be.
Does music get any better than this ?

No sir, it does not... and he was only 23.
Happy birthday, Brian. Thanks for the music.

I thought you were going to say David Hasselhof and Paul O'Grady…
… but that 73-year-old strikes a chord with me too. Changed my life, since '76, both in enriching the quality of it and in impoverishing me long-term financially. Richer and poorer. Worth every thin dime.

The two men who most affected my life are (1) my big brother, and (2) Brian's baby brother. They were both taken prematurely (by cancer) and I'll miss them both as long as I live.

Very Nice post, Andrew. That 73 year old youngster is mainly why we are all here. And no, I cannot imagine my life without the music of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. Since I was 4 years old (Some 53 years, now) it has been a daily part of my life.

The Brianista Prayer
Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen. ---hypehat
