At $500 a pop for the best seats, someone better "please" everyone in the room.

Wouldn't it be ironic if they had one of these lung cancer cure benefits at Market Hotel.

The real question is, will those songs finally please his dad? Or will he just do more LSD to make up for it?

I love how fucking crazy Brian Wilson is. I love that he tripped out on LSD, stayed in his room for like 4 years, walked around in a bath robe, tried to make a "pop symphony to God" (or whatever the fuck he called Pet Sounds), and other far out shit. He's the fucking Shakespeare of 20th Cent. pop music. When Paul fucking McCartney calls "God Only Knows" the greatest thing on Earth, you know Brian Wilson is a heavy dude, man...

Regarding Anonymous's comment of April 15, Brian's "teenage symphony to God" was his description of the SMILE album, not Pet Sounds. Also, Brian did a bunch of drugs, including a great deal of cocaine, as well as acid. But his mental illness consists of several diagnosed conditions: schizo-affective disorder and clinical depression, from which he has been suffering for many years. To call the man "fucking crazy" is to minimize his tremendous suffering as well as his incredible reserves of personal strength. He heard the music of the angels and has come back from hell to share it with us once more.
