Okay, one more then I'll leave the poor guy alone.

Bad Vibrations
(cello triplets by VDP. Bass by Carol Kaye)

I... I love to twit on Twitter now
And opinionate on Facebook every day
I haven't seen this film anyhow
But that won't stop me having my own say
 
I'm sending out bad vibrations
Film didn't meet my expectations
I'm sending out bad vibrations
caustic comments, irritations
Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations
Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations

Close your eyes
You can hear my cellos now
Softly tickling triplets in your ear
When it's a bass you hear
It's Carol even when she wasn't there

I'm sending out bad vibrations
Film didn't meet my expectations
I'm sending out bad vibrations
caustic comments, irritations
Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations
Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations

Ahhhhhh....

I don't know why but I'm an old fart now

(ah my, my what a sensation)

(ah my, my what elations)

Gotta keep those twitt'ring bad vibrations poking atcha, Brian
Gotta keep those twitt'ring bad vibrations poking atcha, Brian

Ahhhh….

Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations
Bad, bad, bad, bad vibrations

... and ... well, you could argue that much of the Beach Boys' career has consisted of attempts to make records like All Summer Long and Pet Sounds, quite frankly.

I like that! Smiley It doesn't really apply to all of their albums (15 Big Ones being more of a Party! type of record, for example) but for most of their discography this actually works quite well I think.

In the end, who has been proven right? The makers of An American Family, of course. Those guys (God bless them and their silly product) left Van Dyke's name out of the movie. They invented a Van-like character, and did not quote any of his lyrics. Gross story-telling, indeed. But they knew that VDP can be a pain up your ass.

Actually, they didn't. The version initially aired mentioned VDP by name - I saw it and can confirm - and it was changed to Samuel in later airings only after either a legal process or threat thereof. And while they didn't quote any lyrics (because he expressly forbade the use of them, hence "Geronimo Leaps" - Boyd has a very funny story about all that nonsense) they sure as hell quoted him - from interviews and articles, and word for word.

I'm guessing if he was in any way miffed about how Smile played out, he thought better of making a scene over the years, and maybe he thought better of Brian during all that time.  But perhaps more recent events, like TLOS not happening in the way he thought it might (and whatever else has happened in the meantime), made him re-evaluate his past dealings with Brian, revealing a pattern, perhaps.  And now maybe he's irritated by all the Brian-glory, due to the film, hence he's being miffed publically.

In a recent tweet, he says Orange Crate Art was 'fine collaboration', presumably as opposed to Brian-led ones.

If he keeps banging on, cryptically, about Brian, he's probably doing it as he's noticing the reaction here, even kind of responding to this perhaps, in his own way.  Clearly, he reads here, given that he supported Daro's view of the 60s when the latter was actually posting here.  If VDP's bitter, then fine.  He probably has legitimate gripes.  It doesn't diminish my view of him.

 I would think somewhere, someone has a VHS recording of the original airing that would have that footage in it.

Totally, no doubt about it - I was just speaking purely from a geeky completist, collector perspective.

Um... every airing has that footage in it. But in the original airing, the character was referred to as Van Dyke, not Samuel as later.

The version I watched online says Van Dyke.

I've only seen the original airing but I thought I remembered they called VDP through out and another character was named something like "Tommy Samuels" who I took be Terry Sachen because he was supplying drugs or some such.

Nope. I was wrong about that too.  IMDB shows the VDP character as Samuel Pierce and the other character as Tommy Schaeffer.

From a few of the comments in this thread, I got the idea that Van's Twitter feed must be one long stream of bile. Having actually checked it out just now, I found it highly enjoyable, quirky and thought-provoking, much like his music.

I'd agree with Fire Wind above; VDP is a cool cat and an occasional snarky aside doesn't diminish my opinion of him.

Although thanks to his tweets today, I now know more about Amish art than I previously did.  Had no idea those roundels were called hexes.  So at least that's a good thing.
