Oi Vey!  For those who don't know, the Beach Boys are the end-all-be-all of 
music for me.  The only band who can top B&S in my book.  With this in mind, 
yes I trudged through the mini-series for the past two nights hoping to have 
my mind changed with regard to TV movies (i.e.- I fucking hate them).
All in all, I thought it started out pretty spot-on and then turned a bit 
crap.  The one scene that totally made my skin crawl was were the boys were 
doing the vocals to "Wouldn't Be Nice" and, as usual, Mike and Brian were 
going at it.  Mike said Pet Sounds was "worthless ego music" when Carl steps 
in and, with perfectly stomach-turning drama, sighs "Michael, what does that 
matter when you have music like THIS?" as he motions to the headset playing 
the FINISHED vocals of WIBN, "How can you hear music like this and not want 
to be a part of it?"  Other than that scene I found it pretty decent.  I 
thought the guy who played Murry Wilson was pretty ace, and the scene where 
the boys' mom chews him out for selling the songs was GRATE (as everyone 
seems to be spelling).  I watched the Brian Wilson Biography on A&E a few 
days before the TV movie and I just found it hilarious how they took scenes 
and memories straight out of that special and put them in the movie.  It 
insured historical accuracy and probably kept alot of unnecessary 
tear-jerking out of the mix, but it was just like watching the Biography 
twice (except Marilyn is alot hotter in the movie).  You've also got it 
backwards, Mike Love is the fucking prick of the group (as anyone on Sinister 
will tell you).  He sued Brian for $5 million dollars last year, he tours 
under the Beach Boys tag by himself, plus he bragged to everyone how he was 
the one who purposely drove Brian insane.  I hate that fucker and his stupid 
hats.
Keith- if I were you, I'd save my money on "Smiley Smile" and try to pick up 
the "Good Vibrations" box set. Its so amazing!  5 discs, and the 5th disc is 
nothing but tracks of Brian building the songs in the studio, or 
stack-o-vocals type stuff where its strictly them singing.  The 
stack-o-vocals mix of "California Girls" will send shivers up your spine!
You know, I also think this album "could" be B&S last.  Not because of any 
rumor I've heard, but as taxing as its become to make this album, plus Stuart 
D's departure, it would seem to make it likely.  I hope its not, thats for 
sure.
I have to write a college essay as though it were a personal journal entry 
for September 20, 2030.  This is so lame I could cry.
Love and Cabinessence
