Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time?

[SloopJohnB]

Two words:

"Hi, Queen!" 


(For those who don't know about this, it comes from an interview with Foskett (http://www.new-surf.com/foskett/interviews.html))

Interviewer: Everybody has a "Brian" story - can you share a funny one with us?

Jeff Foskett: He is a great source for entertainment to be sure. I will tell you the most recent funny thing that happened. We were performing the encore at Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee Celebration. Surprisingly to all, Her Majesty decided to walk on stage and greet the performers. We had been copied on an "etiquette list" of do's and don'ts should the opportunity arise to meet Her Majesty. One of the don'ts was: "do not address Her Majesty as 'Queen'".  As she approached Brian and myself, I leaned to him and said "Remember Bri, don't call her Queen, say 'Your Highness' or 'Your Majesty'".  When she was right in front of us, Brian waved out his hand and said "Hi Queen!". What a character... She was very gracious.

Don't know if this would make it into a Biopic, but...I just loved it when The beach boys were doing Tv Spots for full house, and it went something like this,

Band: Were the beach boys, and were on full house (Something like that)

Women: (To Baby) Say Hi Beach Boys

Brian: Hi Beach Boys !!!!

  I love that

Hmm if i could have any part of BB history...


Brian and the pic he kept mooing in and annoying everyone

A new Brian-story:

Later, they give a private concert for us campers, Jeff and Brian with Wilson’s regular band, rendering all the old favourites. People in the audience are crying with happiness. Jeff ?calls the campers on stage to sing along. I see Wilson eyeing up Jan O’Brien from Tucson, who is right beside him.

She was still skittish about it the next day, as she described how he came into her studio and looked her up and down and went over to her afterwards, when she had finished singing, and said: “You have nice legs.” She had seen him again in the car park and he continued flirting, telling her she had sung a nice song, gazing at her chest as he spoke. He was old, but Jan was still flattered.

Or this one from Nick Lowe, 1974...

"I met Brian in a restaurant in LA recently. Thought he was the perfect gentleman, right up until he buttered his head and put it between two slices of bread".

I think Petty said it in 1988 if I am not mistaken.

[Andrew G. Doe]

I think it's a generic BW tale - certainly I saw it in a book of rock quotes attributed to Nick Lowe (or maybe it was Dave Edmunds) before 1988.

I still think the 1985 Madonna quote rules.

What was that quote again?

[James Hughes-Clarke]

Anyone remember this one from around 1980 I think:  Nick Kent turns up to interview Brian looking 'elegantly wasted' à la 1970's Keith Richards.  Brian greets him and says "Hey, you look more like a rock star than me - maybe I should interview you!"

[pixletwin]

When the Flaming Lips toured with Beck Wayne would run a video for everyone while they were setting up which was an interview he conducted with Brian fro Vh1 which was never aired. The whole time Wayne is interviewing him, Brian has this terrified look on his face like he was worried Wayne was going to punch him or something. Weirdest interview I have ever seen.

[Andrew G. Doe]

The Madonna quote appeared in a 1985 issue of Musician, and as best I can recall goes something like (and you have to bear in mind the title of her then-current hit):

"Oh, Madonna,  great song - I'd really like to meet her but I seriously doubt she's a virgin".

Classic, classic Brian.

Watch this through -- toward the end, Brian's "I like food" is a classic.

[MBE]

Andrew one line you left out is really funny. Brian goes "I'm shaving my beard soon" then does a complete left turn and says" I would really like to meet Madonna. I would say ""Gee you're Pretty". I seriouslly doubt she's a virgin, but that's a good song"

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

OT, I know, but...

Brian goes "I'm shaving my beard soon"

Indeed he did. I think that was the last time he had one.
