oh man yeah, we’re waiting as we’re speaking on a boxset covering the surf’s up era that is officially confirmed and finished but capitol is holding back... maybe due to lack of commercial appeal, but the streets need that s*** man....

@EuroNymous this is one of my favorite from the vault, don’t know if you got around it, it’s so obscure we only got a bootleg out of it

so late 70s contrary to the popular belief saying that brians lowest point was post pet sounds, he was doing just fine still writing full albums and producing it, it’s only when sunflower absolutely flopped in 1970 where it opened a severe wound and insecurities, doors to his haunting ghosts.. by the end of the seventies he was an disaster, the guy that you see at the supermarket you don’t want to get close to, nails untrimmed ridiculously long and not taking showers for weeks because he got so paranoid throug his d*** abuse that he thought the devil was gonna come for him thru the shower head, so he stayed in beds just watching tv and having cocaine and hamburgers from morning to late night

it escalated so bad that the boys couldn’t get a original new song from him, all he would do is jam on the piano this fixation he had with shortenin beard song.. he would play that at parties when other superstars got to meet him for the first time such as iggy pop or what not leaving some terrible stories for them to tell in the media ...

so in 1981 (just about two years before dennis tragic passing.. ) dennis found a way to get brian creative again, he made a deal that would get brian to come to rehearsal with him to play some music, just to get brian out of the bed really, at this point he was at his worse physically he had ever been:

and what was the deal you may wonder??
get brian in a studio with the promise of cocaine and hamburgers in return..

but it worked, as dark as it is, and out of this came out this beautiful song, listen closely to the lyrics heartbreaking lyrics, true lyrics a sos bottle sent to the ocean of whoever is willing to hear his pain...

That’s interesting and so frightening at the same time. Being a creative genius really seems to come at a cost for some people. Interesting stuff as always, thanks for the tag bro!

This s*** is so heartbreaking man.

Brian was full of such beautiful creativity.

so in 1978 there’s this infamous missing puzzle in the bb history where brian disappeared for a few days

he left his home and a few days later, he was found way down in san diego in pretty ugly bad shape and so what happened during those days remained absolutely unknown to anyone for decades

but around 2015 some fan that found brian during this disappearance finally shared his story with some unseen photos to back it up

so for context here’s this piece from a beach boys book from 1986 that shed some light on it:

JB and his brother were spending a few days in san diego, there from the east coast, and boom of all things they found the one and only brian wandering down the street, imagine the odds as a fan

brian was staying at a fortune teller lady house who was giving him marijuana.. ofc

JB an his brother were beach boys fanatics so they invited brian to join them for dinner that night.

they went to a mexican restaurant in la jolla n they had margarita pitchers and talked about the smile tapes.

after dinner they went back home where brian played on their piano “california feeling” - a new more gospel song he was working on during that era that was gonna be on a beach boys album and be the album title but he backed out i forgot why but for some odd reason, song never was used or saw the light of the day until 2013 in this career boxset:

he played that and well you guessed it the infamous shortenin’ bread jam that i already mentioned above

brian played some more songs, drank a lot of beer and started crying about never measuring up to phil spector 😔😔 @Elric

it sounds wholesome out it that way, from the fan perspective - what a trip! but from brian, the genuis and most beloved artist to suddenly disappear los angeles and roaming all the way down to san diego to be helped by a lady who gave him weed and end up in some fan house singing on the piano and crying... it’s heartbreaking..

can’t think of any other artist as wholesome as he is.. just a big gigantic walking heart without any ounce of maliciousness
