Proof you are never to old for toilet humour!

"I hadn't talked to Brian in several years and then, all of a sudden, he just gave me a call one day out of the blue," Thomas said. "He was in Australia. I'll never forget: He was calling to ask me, 'If you flush the toilet in Australia, does it really go the opposite direction of the way it goes when you're in the Northern Hemisphere?' I didn't have an answer for him.

http://www.vcstar.com/news/2012/may/24/the-beach-boys-are-making-radio-waves/


and


Now it was time to see if Love was interested.
 
"We met Mike, of all places, at a steakhouse in Palm Springs," Thomas said. "You must understand, Mike's a vegetarian ... Brian didn't quite get the memo on that. But Mike was gracious enough to meet us at the steakhouse. He had a salad and Brian had a big, juicy steak and they started talking.

I think this one is just as good:

"I am writing a song called 'Shelter,' " he said.

That bit of news was followed by a pregnant pause. Then Wilson lowered the cone of silence, his voice rising with each word.

"Now, don't you tell anyone that title — not a soul," he commanded.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The line above that is a gem too.

From the Google Play interview:

Interviewer: "So brian, what's going on in your mind when you're singing IJWMFTT?"
Brian: "Er... nothing. it comes out of my throat.. [laughter] ... it comes out of my throat, out my mouth, into the audience." [laughter]
Al: "Very touching, Brian. Thank you."

This one may have been mentioned way back in the thread, but on the rehearsal footage for "BWPS", we find Brian sitting with the band on a stage somewhere, rehearsing the upcoming tour.  They're playing through and singing, and they do "Good Vibrations" which as you know is the last song.  Brian sings his last vocals, and WHILE THE SONG IS STILL PLAYING, points at Melinda, then points at the door, makes a driving/steering wheel motion with his hands... she starts walking towards the door.  The music is still being performed by the band behind him. 

A non-vocal Brianism.

well, the rolling stone interview is going to add another page or two to this thread.  In the first page or so of the interview, we get this:

Brian, Mike, and a few others are dining in a restaurant in Hollywood, Florida.  Apparently Brian hasn't been there before, because he doesn't know the menu.

Brian: "You Got Prime Rib? Medium Well?"

Waiter: "Any way you want, Sir"

Brian: "I'll have a Rib-Eye steak, Medium Rare.  And Caesar Salad."

turns to the others

"What are you guys going to have?  You should get Caesar Salad.  Trust Me."

Also from the Rolling Stone interview.  Brian is flying on a plane, talking to a woman he does not know sitting next to him. 

---------------------------

Brian - "Those are nice pants.  Are they cotton or something?"

Woman - "Cotton Blend, I think"

Brian - "What are you drinking?"

Woman - "Bloody Mary"

Brian - "Vodka?  Is it good?"

Woman - "A Little Strong"

Brian - "That's Good.  Those are really nice pants."

A few minutes goes by, Brian has his eyes closed.

Brian - "You Keep Stirring It!"

Woman - "It's Too Strong if I don't."

Brian - "How you feeling?  A Little Woozy?"

Woman - "It takes more than one.  Do you drink?"

Brian - "Not Really.  Do you feel relaxed?"

Woman - "Yes.  You?"

Brian - "VERY"

long pause.





Brian - "What day is it?"

One more from the Rolling Stones article.


Brian, talking about why he hates flying.

"It's so cumbersome.  You gotta take your shoes off.  Put your shoes back on.  You gotta bend over."

I seriously don't think Brian has cared about The Beach Boys as a band since 1967. Everthing he has done since has just been him making music and others making the deals so that it came out as Beach Boys material. He just stopped caring after Smile, since then not giving a toss about artistic aspirations, commercial success etc. Didnt he break his gold LP for Endless Summer? His post-PS songs are all about him, making music about himself, then having the group hijack his stuff and releasing it as Beach Boys, most notably Love You.

Brian and Mike are at some restaurant in Florida, on their night off:

Brian asks, "Isn't Kokomo around here, Mike?  Somewhere down around the Florida keys, right?  We should go there."

Yup. The article says something like "He says this completely deadpan, so it's impossible to tell if he's joking or not".

TWGMTR CD Super delux package - autograph flub -up

(posted by Lee Michael on June 14, 2012 at 2:43 pm)

Message:

OK, so I took out a second mortgage to buy the super delux package (only 50 available at 500 bucks) and it includes an uncut proof sheet for the CD artwork (poster sized) that is signed by BW, ML, AJ, BJ and DM. Only interesting thing is that Brian Wilson signed the darned thing 4 times. He cranked his sig on 4 of the CD cover squares almost as if he might have thought that he needed to sign each square and then they would be cut out and sold separately. Maybe someone took the pen away before he filled the whole sheet.

Hey everyone! I have a proof sheet signed by Brian Wilson! Four times!  Cheesy

Does that mean it's worth four times as much?
