·Just a passing thought here and no disrespect to The Beach Boys meant but perhaps this is one reason they flew a little under the stones and Beatles etc. wouldn’t it be nice is a great song but it can be very easy to listen to it as a “happy song” and have no clue how Brian put his soul into the song and would drive himself crazy to get every note perfect. Many probably don’t appreciate that side of him. But it is music and it’s always subjective I hope Brian is doing OK I saw some pictures and a video that was fortunately removed from YouTube he seems to be struggling a bit but we are at a point where most of my favorite musicians are hitting their 80’s.
I think Brian has been diagnosed with schizoiaffective disorder, where the symptoms are a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They always said he heard exactly what he wanted in his head; I wonder if there’s a connection.
