So I've been flinging questions at the infamous Lorren Daro over the past few weeks, here's a fun bit on The Ism of Brianism:

"He's one of least introspective persons I've ever known. He has taken in the culture around him -- the ideas and the music -- and sculpted them into socially relevant songs. Like Grandma Moses, he just took it in and put it out. That's why Brian has always needed lyricists to organize his observations. In his way, he is like Picasso, not that bright, impulsive, in the moment. It's a Zen take on life -- like your cat -- it's all here in the 'now'. People look for all the 'why's' , but Brian is about the 'what's'..."

Interesting. Everyone seems to think Brian is deep and brilliant, but he's saying Brian is just a vessel. I think Brian is clever in his own way, as we've seen from recent events.

It was just posted. Thanks to the original poster.



Q: The Beach Boys have made some of the most iconic summer songs ever, but are there any songs that remind you of summer that aren’t by the Beach Boys?

BW: “California Girls” and “Surfin’ USA”!

Q: So there are no good summer songs that you didn’t write?

BW: Not really.

http://jack.radio.com/2012/07/02/qa-brian-wilson-on-beach-boys-tour-next-album-possible-frank-sinatra-tribute/





And another thing I remember. In one of the interviews with the Beach Boys for the reunion (maybe the Charlie Rose one) Brian is asked what his favorite Beach Boys album was. Answer : "Summer days" and "That lucky old sun"  Grin

I thought that was hilarious, especially because Mike was sitting besides him

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.

I'll bet the amount of interviews has really stepped up, and Brian just can't be bothered, lol. 

When an interviewer walks in the room, these are the guys he's presented with:



Which one looks like he might be a bit evasive?  LOL!

Well, as I think others have suggested on this board, TLOS would have worked as a Beach Boys record - several of the songs would lend themselves to leads by Mike and Al - and I suppose the main thing that kept it from becoming one was that the fallout from all them lawsuits hadn't quite settled yet.

I've always thought this one was great. It was from an interview he did with Alice (president of the Beach Boys fan club BBFUN) back in the early-mid 80s and it appeared in the fan newsletter.

 He said he had recently run into Frankie Valli at LAX and he was going on about how Frankie has remained such a great singer over all these years. The way he described it.............

From a Radio BBC6 interview.


Q: How does it work in the studio ?

BW: (....) You mean after the songs were written or before?

Q: Before

BW: Well, we can't go to the studio 'til we write a song

Q: Hm-hm

It's what anyone would say who heard the song Sandler wrote for his band before the Spring project. "Sweet Mountain" is mostly based on it.

Scroll down for the sample of the song called "Standing Tall."

Sounds somewhat similar, but not enough to convince me that Brian didn't write Sweet Mountain

Come on, d00d. I had this same argument with someone over "Diamond Head". If Brian never said "I wrote the basis of it" and someone else says "I wrote the basis of it", why be stubborn in saying "NO WAY THIS GUY IS CLEARLY LYING BRIAN WRITES EVERYTHING"?

Folks want credit for Brian's stuff all the time. and of course there's brian changing his tune from one interview to the next to fall back on. but mostly maybe  just cuz.

Who? With the exception of Mike who, sans semi-bogus-but-technically-legitimate co-write credits for stuff like "Wouldn't It Be Nice?", actually deserved the co-write credits he asked for, I can't think of any examples, although maybe I missed something.

And Sandler is listed as a co-writer of the song. Brian's involvement in the Spring project was said to be fairly minimal and less than that of Sandler's contributions, so why is it hard to believe that a guy listed as a co-writer wrote the majority or entirety of the song? The clip posted above is proof enough that it was mostly Sandler's work - listen to the entire clip.
