Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road
-
This American Master PBS show was on June 14, 2022. Paul and Linda are shown in a film of Brian's birthday party in CA on June 20, 1976. They were born the same year, 2 days apart, and Brian is a lefty (who played bass righty) He may have been forced like Ringo to write right-handed though. In this special it shows him with baseball mitt on his right hand and throwing lefty. He's probably ambidextrous.

We watched this documentary on Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys and, boy, did it ever make me nostalgic for that music period. I am from SoCal and have only had one BB brush. It happened in 1979 at a restaurant in Marina del Rey. I was singing in a band and Dennis Wilson came in one night stinking drunk. He tried to talk to me at break, but as he opened his adorable mouth he fell flat on his butt. I still feel bad for him knowing what demons he battled. It's a miracle Brian is still with us. Long live Brian.
Can't tell you how excited I am for their new Spotify channel coming up. Beach Boys Forever!!

I finally got to see this last June on airplane ride home from Seattle. Really enjoyed it, such a shame about his mental issues. As much as I love him, he really needs to stop touring.
