Purportedly, Gary Hinman gave him bad drugs. Hinman was the "chemist" and musician murdered by musician Bobby Bousoliel. It is said that this murder prompted the Tate-Labianca slayings,better known as the Manson murders. This man is lucky to be alive in more ways than one.
Godspeed to him for making it through all he has. He has made a lot of people happy, though his life has not always been.
no, he's not on drugs...his actions appear odd because of his past drug abuse. Reviewing his SMILE show in St Louis, the Post-Dispatch reviewer termed him "endearingly wooden," an apt description for those who know the background. He's come back from a personal hell most of us couldn't....and other rock stars didn't. His dad was abusive and he's the last of 3 brothers.
His "odd actions" are due to recklessly prescibed antipsychotics by a physician imposter. NOT drug abuse. This was abuse (perhaps more than chemical) by "Dr" Landy, his spurious caregiver. A psychologist cannot prescibe, in any state.
@alburtise When I was in college, I wanted to help save the world. Majored in psychology. Changed majors at the end of my junior year when I understood what idiocy psychology is--and the fact that some I went to school with are now out there practicing as psychologists makes me fear for the health and safety of their clients.
"Boys of Summer" is a reference to Beach Boys. By the way, I've always thought Paul's schtick was just campy and sometimes self-deprecating humor, never took it as him being egotistical.
OH PLEASE! Paul has played with some of the greats. It amazes ME how some gnomes have to tear others down because it makes them feel so damn insightful.
@Quickstoptim Paul is a very good musician and truly gets it. Knows Brian better than most people because he was a very good friend of Carl's. He also filled in at times for The Beach Boys in a few concerts. He has been known to play back up at the Carl Wilson Foundation events. :)
@Joerotty - Who better than he in this environment? He did a recreation of Phil Spector for a live performance by Darlene Love that was absolutely awesome!
Definitely! As great as Dylan and Reed are/were, they didn't really get the whole "sincerity" thing, and they totally forgot that rock and roll is supposed to be fun. Its possible to be "acant-garde" and/or "edgy" and still be fun, isn't it? I know the Who still tried to be fun even when they got "artsy". "do It Again" isn't exactly a cutting edge song (unlike PS and SMiLE), but it is a pretty fun song.
Good performance. Wilson sounds great considering all the shit he's done to his vocal chords over the years. Wendy looks good in the go-go boots. Hell, she's the most lively person on the stage. The rest of the band, including Paul Schaffer, were pretty stiff.
The Beach Boys, with Brian, did a performance of "I Can Hear Music" on Live with Regis and Kathy Lee in 1996, if anybody has that, that would be cool to see, so cool.
I like Mike's voice better on that song! :P omg the Beach Boys are so awresome! Excellent song and excellent video, excellent music, eargasm!!!
