Thx for sharing Rolling Freak. The before and after of the Neil Diamond song is a simple example of his brilliance as a musical producer. Yes, it’s too bad he wasn’t able to get the help he needed decades before it finally arrived.

SURFER GIRL- The first song he wrote, recorded and produced after his parents gave him $250 for food when they went on vacation and he and his brothers and Mike and Al spent it on equipment, formed a band and wrote and played that song for his parents when they returned, not knowing if he'd get another beating from his Dad, or if he'd be happy, He was 19 when it was released as a single

Dutchman, Thank you for reading and for your perspective. While it’s true that anxiety is common, Brian Wilson’s condition is well documented as involving much more than Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which is characterized by persistent, excessive worry. His experiences included decades of psychosis, years under the control of a controversial therapist, and a long absence from music and pub

There are only a few shirts posted so far, with lots more to come. Many books, magazines, news clippings, concert shirts, flags etc... plus lots of unrelated stones stuff will fill things out over time, but I'll work on the Stones stuff as much as I can. Retirement, old age and a desire to minimize my belongings has caused me to put parts of my collection I started in the 70s up for sale

I believe the true genius was in Brian’s ability to go more than 8000 days from the onset of a debilitating mental illness that nearly ended his music career when Caroline, No was released in 1966, to the moment we heard Love and Mercy open his first solo album in 1988. Finally getting off street drugs, receiving psychiatric help, finding the right medication, and meeting his wife Melinda mark

QuoteRollingFreak First and foremost, I'm happy you had such a great time. With the way the world is these days, you gotta find joy where you can, and I'm truly glad you had an unforgettable night as you put it. Thanks RollingFreak...and good points. The only truly unforgettable part of the concert for me was the first glimpse inside The Sphere through the tunnel—it was stunn

I think his relationship and access to Steve Jordan is a positive influence for Keith. No swipe on Charlie, as he was amazing and we’re not here without him, but being able to have Steve step into Charlie’s shoes, and likely the positive influence on his life Patti brings, seems to be paying dividends as Keith keeps rolling on. It also helps when your main business partner hasn’t missed a bea

This is the first tour where I feel connected without seeing a show. Thanks to Professor Wolf for uploading videos of every song from each setlist! It's great to see the band still mixing up the setlist, taking some chances and still getting tighter each show. Also nice to see KR adding "BTMMR" at Chicago 2—hope that continues. Since "MY" was played at Chicago 2, I&

I’m guessing Bite my Head Off needs to be played live before McCartney in LA shows up… since it didn’t make Chicago, I’m guessing Vancouver.

“Bite my Head Off”…If Macca is gonna play this in LA then a live rehearsal would be good- I thought it was really good on the live album from the Racket in New York, but Darryl’s bass could be turned up.

Both of Donald Sutherland's roles in "Kelly's Heroes" and "The Dirty Dozen" are similar as unconventional characters providing non-slapstick laughter in stressful military settings. While some military films dabbled in comedy before, none placed it in the midst of high-stakes combat operations. This was a significant shift in cinematic direction, allowing writers

There are many books, articles and films about the Rolling Stones. Some are written by the band members themselves, telling their version of the story. Some are written by former roommates or insiders, some by hangers on or people the band hired, and some are by professionals writing for a buck. None of these stories captures the influence of one person on the Rolling Stones more than the story o

The world lost a great human being this week. Bill Walton was a person we should all remember for his many teachings. When I moved to Portland at the beginning of the pandemic, I saw signs saying "KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD," and quickly realized how unique the city was. Initially, it was hard to embrace, but over four years, my perspective changed, in part due to Bill Walton, I truly belie

The strength of that riff, and watching him nail it is what compelled me to wonder out loud what would it be like if they covered “Stay with Me”.. but yes, in retrospect, I thought the Billy Preston songs took away from the momentum in ‘75… so I see both sides.
