In this month's issue of Tracks is an article with Brian Wilson about the
resurrection of 'Smile'. A Cliff Notes version of the rise and fall and then
rise of the album including a recent interview with the mad genius himself
(their quote, not mine). The tone of the peace is certainly NOT one of awe
or wonder, but rather bemusement. And this is no more obvious than in the
following, back-handed credit to the fans for making the album relevent:
"...Then came what Wilson insiders call the BRIANISTAS: 'Smile'-obsessed
get-a-lifers who'd begun unearthing, exchanging and bootlegging remnants of
the scrapped album while debating about the actual songs and sequence like
characters in 'The Da Vinci Code'. "
A thank you to the fans for even giving a shit would have sufficed.
Jaimie Vernon,
President, Bullseye Records
