      This whole family--cousins, children, brothers, etc--should be studied by our brain scientists.

      We have creativity.

      We have mental illness.

      We have obesity. Carnie Wilson during her Wilson Phillips fame reached a lifetime weight peak of almost 300 pounds[6].

      There is much, much more here for humanity than just great music.

      Harmony wins!

      A psalm of David. How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

      listen you're the #1 pop star hollywood walk of fame everything is cool like i would truly say it if somebody asked me who's the number one pop star i would say it

      #1 in the WORLD it's the truth

      i truly believe that

      i'm just going through problems so i have to chill out and get in a different mind frame

      zeeeeeennnnnnnnnn state of being i HAVE to achieve it

      the music industry will blast me out of the mind state

      i'm just like live in the moment and take the path that's best for me getting better

      you crippled me down to nothing you stole all my resources

      JUST joking it's cool i did it to myself

      ps - i just wrote that and then watched the last five minutes SO

      LSD LSD LSD LSD

      first time i took drugs i ate half a tab of ecstasy one hit of lsd and smoked some weed (my boy knew what he was doing) [added: i might have taken lsd one time before that]

      that sh*t BLEW my mind i went out in nature and all the birds and the trees and the chipmunks then later in the night i came back and i was bumping this crazy music and the beats were just flying off the walls THAT was crazy i had a bike race the next day and i only slept like an hour so i didn't do that great but i still finished okay

      but definitely i would stay off the lsd

      it's way better than alcohol but i don't think it's good to do a lot of times

      i would do like mushrooms once a year and that's about it but it's too dangerous you might eat the wrong kind and have kidney failure

      and you can get super high without drugs anyway just by eating healthy and going mountain biking

      truthfully when i first took lsd i realized i've been tripping my whole life this just made it happen right at that moment

      but it wasn't like a new sensation of anything

      truthfully i think drugs are played out because whenever i see hippies and stuff and they have lsd paintings on buses etc it's WAY too dark and twisted i don't like the artwork

      so i think lsd overall has a bad effect

      my problem is i laugh uncontrollably for 4 hours if i take lsd so i start to think people are going to think i'm crazy and so i have to hide

      run off into nature or bury my head

      a lot of people have been telling me to take lsd to help with my ears i haven't tried that yet but so i do want to try to take mushrooms as something to try for that but i'm going to only do it at the right time when i have the best chance for success and everything is going well

      i don't care what anybody says i'm getting through this however it takes

      but i don't need to get people to start thinking the wrong thing and attack me over it

      i was accused of being on drugs non stop for years before i ever took any drugs

      so my conclusion is other people are lost in CHAOS (and they dragged me into it - i have to escape!!!!!)

      drugs are played out there's no point in talking about them

      caffein morphine nicotine

      illegal business controls america

      (i love that song i'm not going to listen to it right now)

      what can i get for 63 cents

      i think music is fun for kids i saw some kids at the apple store bumping some crazy stuff

      talking on their cell phones i was thinking like man they are living the life

      [i'm now out here listening to these girls talk about going to school - art therapy and dream psychology - and stuff and what they're studying one said her undergrad cost her $32,000 a year but it sounded pretty cool i think there's a lot to do in a lot of different ways]

      anyway i've run out of resources i have to get back into life and ADVANCE

      i fixed my bike so i should start biking tomorrow so that'll be my start

      Charlie, you are just a few months older than Brian Wilson.

      What a difference at 70.

      I thought Brian was fried until I read this:

      By 1989 a rumour was circulating that Brian either had had a stroke or had abused drugs excessively and was permanently "fried".[7] One biographer reported that the actual problem was that Wilson, who had been prescribed anti-psychotic medicine by Landy since 1983, had developed tardive dyskinesia,[36] a neurological condition marked by involuntary, repetitive movements, that develops in about 20% of patients treated with anti-psychotic drugs for a long period of time.[37] Wilson's drug regimen has now been reduced to a combination of mild antidepressants, and he has resumed recording and performing.

      God Bless us one and all.

      A fond memory for me was going to http://www.lagoonpark.com/ eating Kentucky Fried Chicken and hearing the Beach Boys music piped through the park.

      That was almost 40 years ago.

      the beatles and the beach boys were the cutting edge of pop music in the 60s, not sure where you get off calling them dated. and yeah they were influenced by what they listened to growing up, they even stated the four freshman. and in my mind took vocal harmonies way further than anyone had or has done since. one listen to pet sounds/smile's harmonies shows that.

    7. REMant  05/21/2012 11:37 AM Report

      They copied the Four Freshmen, whose style dated back to the the '30s, and influenced I imagine by more than a little doo-wop. Their "philosophy" was dated when they began. Both they and the Beatles were throwbacks. The beach culture continued up through Baywatch, hitting its peak in the late '80s, tho I suspect if the song were done today, it would probably turn out to be something more like: "I wish they all could be Coney Island boys..."
