I dunno ... the collaboration thing with Brian is tough because there are two different pushes. One is to credit Brian to the max, the still-genius guy, etc. That's what his people want. But there's also a push for his collaborators to use him to further their own names or careers (Andy Paley being the most recent and unfortunate example). The truth often falls in the middle, and it's especially hard when someone is writing something that's a tribute to Brian's style (like that "Standing Tall" original version). So Brian comes along, changes a few things, adds a vocal arrangement -- how much of a co-write is that? On one hand, he contributed little, but on the other hand, the original writer is using Brian's style (or earlier songs) as a template. See also the title track to "That's Why God Made the Radio" and "Soul Searchin."

Same, thus why I (sadly) switched back from the Mother 3 avatar to the Hello Kitty avatar. Like, it's a totally different person. Where's Wirestone? What happened to him? Oh wait, he switched avatars.

Edit: Interesting timing, Stoney ;(

Giving Mike a song called "Spring vacation" to write lyrics to. That has to be one of the greatest Brianism's...

Classic Brian put-on, letting Mike stay lost in the endless summer.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

idk what you took from the joke but the quote was made up by me but there's a certain video of Getcha Back that has one too many beach balls being tossed and hitting the guys while they perform. Jeff F gets hit dead on...the video is from the mid-80s.

There's also a famous one, where Carl is singing "God Only Knows" at the front of the stage.  A bunch of girls are crying and screaming in the front row, doing girly things.  Brian, clearly unamused, gets up, hurries to the front and says something like "COULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP, HE'S TRYING TO SING"

I think it's during the 1967 Hawaii show, but I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, it's from one of the two shows. I don't think though that Brian got up and walked to the front. I haven't listened to it in a long time but it sounds like he was yelling it into his microphone while still sitting at the organ

Picturing a bearded late 70s Brian getting up and screaming "COULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP, HE'S TRYING TO SING" painted a far more amusing picture than this. ;(

The Bruce & Brian questionaire is from 16 magazine, published in the fall of '66. Another issue of 16 from around that time had questionaires filled out by Al and Mike. All four of these were quoted on another thread here about five years ago. If Carl and Dennis had ones published they don't seem to be on the board.

Brian's liking The Twilight Zone - wonder what his fave episodes would be - kind of ties in with his saying in the 1990s that Mirage was his favorite movie. I saw Mirage back in the '70s on TV - it stars Gregory Peck and Diane Baker, and Walter Matthau plays an amusingly goofy detective. George Kennedy goes around killing people with his halitosis. (That, for those of you who came of age after 1990, refers to an old ad campaign he did.)

Al's questionaire is worth looking at. He says his fave male singer is Bobby Goldsboro! He also says his favorite male actor is Richard Dunn. I don't know who this would be - IMDB shows there was a guy with that name who appeared in some very small roles in movies and TV in the '40s and '50s but no one else more prominent is listed there.  Maybe he was Al's cousin or something.

Also from the CNN story. Mike joking but ohhh so true.

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/14/world/asia/hong-kong-beach-boys-stout/index.html

Love and Jardine then take to a small nearby stage and strike up an impromptu version of "California Girls" (with Al on bass and Mike doing vocals). Johnston then appears out of nowhere to play the piano.

But where was Wilson?

"Off to a buffet somewhere," quips Love with a smile.
