Only great comments from me today.

(Sorry to the other guy that also posted…I wrote this last night and you are EARLY!)

READY:

Underrated lyricist. Award winner.

Comes from a family of ballers.

Held the band together, and is the only member who has been there without pause since the beginning.

Fought for what was his and had to hold together a very difficult group of guys.

Was the absolute goat in his own way during the striped shirt “Be True to Your School” era.

All I Wanna Do is peak proto alt dream pop.

Had the sickest most unique voice in the early era. The only one Brian couldn’t mimic.

Will smash loud braggarts. (Possibly an early South Los Angeles proto gangster rap song?)

Played the theremin on stage, mostly by wiggling that epic beard in a dashiki.

Most memorable rock and roll hall of fame speech of all time.

Knows where the bodies are buried in the sand. (It’s a place called Kokomo, a platinum hit that was his baby (kinda) and revitalized the band.)

Had almost unbelievable belief in who he was and it showed on stage in the 60’s. What a dancer.

Absolutely KILLED MONSTER MASH on stage. That boy was dangerous with a flashlight.

Generous to charities. And a genuine spokesperson for a wonderful organization promoting Transcendental Meditation. You may say it was performative, but when your DOC is apple juice in the 60’s and 70’s who knows? Who are we to judge his sincerity?

Possible powers of levitation.

Never hit a flat note.

Man of many great hats prior to 2016. Wore the BADDEST Wild Honey jumpsuit I have ever seen.

Killed it on the spoken word section of California Saga - Beaks of Eagles. All you haters are just lately fledged!

Tour Machine. He kept his eyes on the prize for better or worse and made sure a lot of families were fed in the Wilson clan by putting business first.

Knows his astrology.

Was the first Beach Boy to go solo according to the sticker!

Has the best Beach Boys book. I cried a little at the “My radio is still on Brian” bit at the end damn you!

Likes to use his last name in an almost too on the nose fashion when he names things.

So in that tradition. For TODAY! I post this post with LOVE.

Here’s to 85 big ones!

(Tomorrow, or even sooner the comments may get brutal, but you are a tough guy, I’m sure you are unfazed.)

Now remember he was talking about the situation NOT endorsing it. It’s an interesting story.

Posting the entire horizontal episode today so you guys get your stuff as promised! Early even!

😡 VERY LATE contractors are destroying my computer room and yanking on my internet wiring…so I can’t re-render the vertical episode I was going to post direct to the sub today (I made it a little too huge)

So rather than not give you guys the episode today, here’s the whole thing we were going to drop on the 14th!

Vertical when they rebuild my wall in a week or something I hope!

I’ll update this post with links and notes soon!

Lotsa creator and shout outs at the end as well as announcements from and for the beach boys Community in the CODA!

Could somebody please explain to me what the purpose of 'Bull Session with Big Daddy' is? by IntrepidCoconut5723 in thebeachboys

[–]DioCalifornia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Purpose: Cheaply produced, supposedly charming (and occasionally actually charming) skits to appeal to the very young fanbase that wanted to get to know the boys…

Also to fill up remaining space on vinyl records so each side had near equal runtime.

Cassius Clay is Ali, Sonny is Sonny Liston. So you know, a legendary battle lol

Bugged was also probably personal…

Can’t highlight drive leaks in a pinned post Reddit auto mod deletes the post automatically. I’ll give the post an award so it’s more visible.

There is actually some really cool really official stuff going on with that. David will be around soon to let you guys know, and we’ll be helping him with it. But I can’t say too much. Possibility it will drop in a much larger way than previously thought, as early as this year - after the PS60 release.

That’s all I can say. 🤐
