one thing I can't stand is someone that doesn't know shit about what they are talking about when it comes to Brian and believes the bs info in most books that are nothing more than rehashed info from other books and sensationalism to make a sale at the expense of Brian.

I agree 100% Kevin. And don't forget that they also get information from those most objective and fair-minded of sources, Brian's fellow band members, especially one Keith Richards.

More Brian quotes taken from some of my mags:

1964: People who don't understand our music sometimes say that it's difficult to distingush each instrument on a record. Well, we don't attempt to make technically-perfect tracks. R-and-b isn,t the sort of music that needs each instrument to come through clear as a bell.

1964 (same interview): We never thought we would be as big as we are today. Do you know what I mean? We wanted to have a go, of course. But I don't think even we had such great faith in our music that we foresaw the future.

1967 (talking about the making of Satanic Majesties): The big job at hand is to get the LP done and we're spending an awful lot of time on it this time. It's going to be more of a production. We've really put some thought into it because people are still liking our albums so we're trying to really give them something that will take them on a a stage further. We feel at the moment that our important work is to be done in the studio rather than in baseball halls and statiums around the country.

1967 (commenting on his Monterey garb): Well, it's Old English and European stuff.

And, to me at least, the most moving of all, from his telegram to his parent following is first drug arrest, in 1967: Please don't judge me too harshly. One can only wish he'd been heard...
