Mikey didn't like Smile back then. Hell, he didn't even like Pet Sounds. Brian was growing exponentially and wanted to move past the beach, cotton candy, hot dogs and caramel corn in his songs. That's why he chose to compose music with other lyricists.
@votemiles i agree, most interviewers ask the same banal beach boys shit of our main man brian. this guy actually seems to know something of the subject. ie the rise and fall of smile. i would like to see an indepth interview with brian about the evolution of his music.right from the beginning. it would make a fascinating documentary.
So great to see SMiLE being respected . An album to be appreciated with a "higher state of consciousness". So many complex levels of information sonically and lyrically.So beautifully expressed, so easy to listen to...
im glad to know brian realizes how much ass he kicked then and still does .

Mike Love didn't like it and whined until Brian gave up and quit. Of course, NOW he "loves" it because he needs the money.

funny how they talk about a masterpiece such as Smile without taking into account that he had just finished making Pet Sounds which was WOAH
