Subject: Re: What the?

iHawk- Man I gotta echo your view on the Brian Wilson disc. I think it's great that he is so highly regarded today and that so many writers out there revere him, but I think the down side of it is that so many Brian fans are grinding their own axes, wishing he'd finish Smile or what have you, in other words, I find there to be alot of negativity and disrespect among his fans for the commercial nature of "Imagination." I've read so many pissy reviews of it and heard so many pale little artpukes desparaging its "Mike Love-like" aspects; my question to them is : Are you even listening? Jeez, LISTEN to the vocals on this thing! I'm just glad the guy's still alive, thrilled that he seems happy and healthy again, but none of us had the right to expect a gift like "Imagination" at this late date. Thank you God! This summer I can go see The Guess Who live in the land where they are kings and I can also go see Brian Wilson happily performing in the land where he is king. What riches!!!
Now, one for you and everyone else who is curious:
> Brian Wilson's IMAGINATION record. What a phenomenal
> effort from possibly the finest songsmith of the past
> 50 years (present company excluded ha ha). Especially
> cuts like "Sunshine", lyrics like "You shouldn't be
> afraid to call / I really wouldn't mind at all /
> Here's my number, Number One / Dial it honey, let's
> have some fun..." ... CONFIDENCE and OPTIMISM abound
> ... ----iHawk
