OT: Brian Wilson in Conservatorship

[rudedude]

Brian has dementia and needs assistance. Sad to see this musical genius near the end of his time.

Fix your subject line. That's the worst typo ever.

Sad. Following the path of his pal GC.

Brian used to go - uninvited sometimes - and watch Spector sessions with the "clique" (now known as the Wrecking Crew). It was then that he realized he really could match the Beatles. He knew that selling records was now in the studio, and not on the road.

He is one (like Glen) that I would have really liked to meet.

Genius is the right word. He was all of that.

My favorite Wilson song

[MtNittany]

Lennon called this "the most perfect song" he'd ever heard...

Brian composed and gave this song to Glen - then produced it for him. Glen would end up being his stand in on tour for a bit b/c Brian just didn't want to tour.

It is a shame , no question . He was very talented , and his music showed it .

 

[MrTailgate]

He heard what very few have ever heard. Pure melodic perfection. Pet Sounds was every bit the thunderclap that Sgt Pepper was. Genius is overused, not in this case.

Strokes are never a good thing. It's been all downhill for him since that happened. Just sad.

The Beach Boys and Lorrie Morgan - Don't Worry Baby (1996) - Bing video - the harmony is fantastic as the lyrics are rearranged

The Beach Boys - Kokomo (1988) - Bing video - 'Come Hither ...' lots of good scenery including 'Her'

I can’t think of a single viable reason for anyone to not own a copy of Pet Sounds.

I’ve tried it probably five times in life. Can’t stand it. Maybe I’ll try again this weekend.
Edit: Listened to half of it again. Still grating to me. I just don’t get it.

While it’s one of his later songs, it’s one of my favorites. Midnight’s Another Day from his 2008 album That Lucky Old Sun. The way the album was mixed, the preceding track, Can’t Wait Too Long, goes straight into Midnight’s…, which blends into a reprise of That Lucky Old Sun. This clip has all three in succession.

You’re a good sport. I always manage to step in it.

Man I loved Lorrie Morgan back then.

Well, I’ll be dipped in dogsh!t. Mrs Lion Jim and I are taking a scenic drive today and she puts in a cd.

“What are you listening to?”
“Beach Boys. Pet Sounds.”

 

[ApexLion]

There’s music created that defy explanation.

Pet Sounds and Astral Weeks in retrospect are two albums coming out of nowhere. Wilson and Morrison had not done work of that caliber before or after those albums. It’s eerie when you look at the historical context. Both are superior to Sgt. Peppers imho.

Be right back. God Only Knows where my old vinyl of it went. Would it be Nice if I found it today.

Dennis packed 3 life times into 38 years Carl was the only brother that held things together. He had a voice that belongs in heaven.
