The Drugs got Brian Wilson into it | Smile
AVC: There's a lot of mythology about the role drugs played in the holdup of Smile. Were drugs a significant part of it?
Brian Wilson: Well, the drugs got us into it, let's put it that way. The drugs got us into it, but we got into it so deeply, the drugs, that we had to stop them, because we were way, way ahead of our time for that album. That album was like 30, 40 years ahead of its time. We could have put it out, but again, it was very, very ahead of its time. And the drugs took us very deeply into it, so we had to pull out of the drugs, out of the project for 38 years, and then come back and think back 38 years later and put it all together.

Just curious, can you take John Lennon seriously?

I think the question mark lets people know you are "just curious". I don't think you have to actually say it before you ask a question.
