Brian Wilson Is Going To Phone Me!!!

you'd have to pay me 100 bucks to talk to him.

And the Greatest Pop Masterpiece Ever was released in 2004, dude. I'll pay the 100 (for hurricane relief, of course!). I'll thank him for SMiLE, wish him all the best in future creative endeavours, and ask him some questions about the most underrated, overlooked song on SMiLE: Blue Hawaii.

i'd ask him who he likes more: Hansons or Jason Mayeroff. I'm guessing with Jason's asian influences, JM Would get the nod.

He'll be slurring. His frontal lobe is messed up.

Yeah sure, Brian will be the first to admit that he took too many drugs in the 60s, spent much of the 70s in a tent in his room, etc etc....

BUT NOW LOOK AT HIM!!! He did much more than merely survive. I admire that man!!!

It is a shame what Brian did to his brain. He was brilliant! It's nice to hear of him doing good things like this though. Good for him!

The greatest pop masterpiece ever is "Forever Changes" by Love. If I donate $24.95, will Arthur Lee phone me?

Weary, I agree that Forever Changes OWNS!! Pop? I dunno. A bit darker than pop, really. I'd love to chat with Arthur Lee. I'd ask him about the lyrics to The Red Telephone.

Well, I used the pop masterpiece to describe "Forever Changes" because it had appeared in Skuj's comment. But yeah, it's got more elements of rock and it is at times darker. But I don't know of any CD that has so many tracks that are so staggeringly brilliant and so different from each other yet make for a cohesive CD.

Oh Man! I'm very happy to talk Forever Changes! Red Telephone sends shivers down my spine. You Set The Scene nearly makes me cry. Brian's Alone Again Or is staggeringly beautiful in it's simplicity and should have been a number one worldwide. I love the echoey sound that pervades that song. And the horns in the middle.

Did you get the last release with the out-take (should have been on the album imho), plus the early 68 single, which is very Forever Changes worthy?

Some of the songs on Da Capo also come close to the majesty of Forever Changes. Brilliant, brilliant songwriting.

The Album Pet Sounds made me buy a dog it moved me so much.

I enjoy a fair chunk of Pet Sounds, but I always thought it was somewhat over-rated. The 2 instrumentals aren't that great imho. Maybe I should listen again.

Bit SMiLE....oh man....the middle suite especially. Words cannot do it justice.

Hi,

This is Brian Wilson. I just want to say thanks for your donation. I'll be calling you personally--my voice may be hoarse from calling so many people, so it may not sound like me at all, but rest assured, it's me.

He'll call!!! :)

yeah, you keep sittin' in that pumpkin patch, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive....

If you read it correctly it says Bryant Wilson who is some lame HS freshman dude from Detroit, Michigan. It's a scam.

With no disrespect to Love, the Damned outdid them on their cover of Alone Again Or. One of the greatest covers ever that did Love justice but also added to the song.

I agree that The Damned did a, er, damn good cover! A great song is a great song though!
