However, you have to admit it's become quite fashionable for Brian fans to forgive and forget all that in the face of what the band is doing now.

That is absolutely true. Brian's fans can go too far in their admiration of him. He was, after all, deeply flawed. But I think they're doing this at least partly in reaction to the unfair negativity about him. That's my theory.

Ed King up and left his band right in the middle of a tour. One night he just decided he'd had enough and packed up without telling anyone. They had to figure out a way to fill in for his guitar parts before the next show. Talk about letting your bandmates down, yet I never heard or read a negative comment made about him for this. At least publicly. But to have been a fly on the wall when they found out! LOL.

Imagine what we'd be hearing today about Brian if he'd done the same thing! I seem to recall reading that he thought about not going on the '67 European tour (after the Anita thing). The things we'd hear about him today had he done that!!!
