Thank you ! Never watched it before. Brian looks and sounds good (except for repeating himself on the Phil Spector sound). I like the part “I like delicate things. Donovan is a delicate artist.” Makes me want to listen to Sunshine Superman.
He mentions Phil Spector even today. Not a cool thing to say. But... PS made cool music back in the day.
He is right to mention him as he had such an influence on his music (« be my baby » blew his mind and he told once he had to stop his car when he first listened to it) and his psyche (the « seconds »movie). Phil Spector was the truck, Brian the jeweler.
The beautiful thing about great artists is knowing your gifts will be picked up by a new genius and then he/she will set a new bar upon which someone else may again leave a mark. Paul McCartney reportedly pulled his car over 3 years after Brian did in response to Spector, as when he first heard God Only Knows, so it's always inspiring to see the musical genius pass between artist to artist. Director William Friedkin once echoed something similar about films, saying that "Great films beget great films".
One of my favorites from "Pet Sounds"...the lush breezy organ backing after each verse always gives me chills... "I could try to be big in the eyes of the world. What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl". Gorgeous...
A great one from 1965 that you don't hear about much...bouncy and bright, with a catchy chorus anchoring the background...
Good question...Hopefully the others didn't leave him on Gilligan's Island! Of course, with Mary Ann there (sorry Barbara Ann), life could certainly be worse.
Yes, you are right. At least according to Wikipedia. It mentions that he was absent from the photo shoot due to illness. It also mentions that Bruce Johnston joined at this time (unofficially), but his appearance in any Beach Boys photo shoots could not be used at the time of that album due to his contract with Columbia Records.
Three bands I never seen live ( the shame ) Black Sabbath LED Zeppelin and The Beach Boys ( oh and the Beatles
Yeah .. I enlarged the photo looks like one ( on boat/barge) is drinking something. Well aware their photo is being took. Aside / mystery’s.. Of course there’s the mini skirt blonde in the back cover of Abbey Road. These query’s just fascinate me.
