Subject: RE: Ridiculous statement in Toronto Star
um i am not a big brian wilson fan by any stretch of the imagination and i can name twenty of his songs without a problem ,carilone no.god only knows/good vibrations/surfer girl/i just wasnt made for these times/girl dont tell me/shut down/surf city/little deuce coup/in my room/heroes and villians/do it again/wendy/let him run wild/help me rhonda/please let me wander/warmth of the sun/carlifornia girls/she knows me too well/darlin/409 um thats got to be twenty at least.. he made pretty good records and he had hits during the english invasion like "i get around" so i think he was pretty good and as far as popular music goes he has got to be up there in terms of american writers (you really cant call tom waits a pop writer how about a quaint anacronism that used to be intersting?)i think the article was trying to say (and i got this be reading the damn thing and i admit it was stupid as all get out) that hey bob and brian are both in town this week (bob tommorow night brian on thursday) it really wasnt a serious article just a page filler (lots of photos) my friends and i had a good laugh at it because it was almost like a seperated at birth article as in here is how to spot the differances between the two, it was in this manner that it was an atrocious piece but the stars music section screws up just about anything they write about so par for the course for them .
