Weird article!

"On Brian Wilson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Waves of California, the Melancholy of the Beach Boys, and the Stories the Young Can’t Escape"

The analogies are stretched to the breaking point - I learned quite a bit about Nathanial, nothing particularly insightful about Brian that hasn't been said a zillion times before.

I like it. It's well written and meanders quite thoughtfully. Bit like Greil Marcus loves to do. So perhaps I am a dissenter here. I read a lot by Hawthorne and obviously am a BW loonie; but that does not diminish my admiration for the piece. Republicans will hate it, and with good reason. And that's exactly why I don't love Republicans.

Seeing this thread title, I worried it was going to be another out-of-place political thread, like the "Rio Grande" one. Glad to see it was at least relevant.

Since this is already a lighthearted topic, let me introduce this: OMG THE BRIAN WILSON FROM 1975 DYED HIS HAIR AND TIME-TRAVELED TO OUR PRESENT DAY (PROBABLY WITH THE AID OF HIS MAGIC TRANSISTOR RADIO) AND GOT ARRESTED FOR ACTING OUT "HEY LITTLE TOMBOY" IN PUBLIC! THE PROOF IS HERE:

Edit: Wrong topic but I'll leave it here anyway. Darn tabs.

I used to be a republican until I found out that Mike Love was one. And George W Bush drove me to the libertarian party.

Still one forever, sorry.  And BTW, hope the author knows by now the striped shirts weren't Pendeltons. Weird article.
