That was Bruce on the 2007 God Only Knows preview clip!

I remember this really sounding like Bruce too.  But someone sounding like someone else is par for the course in BB land. 

Is there a link to this clip still out there somewhere?

But sometimes he did give us 'solid' information without giving sources, so he's bound to be questioned

AGD is so well-informed on all things Beach Boys that I'm willing to take anything he's certain about as a fact. Even if he doesn't give his source.

Who mixed the versison for the video?  Linnett?  Ask him.  Put us all out of our misery and find out once and for all.  I mean, weren't there people here who swore they could see Bruce in the video?

Wow, I can see the fanboys on the Hoffman board drizzling over the graphic representaions of the sound waves already...

Dunno, but I'll look into it.  Are you speaking strictly about this board?

No, I am talking about the original Quadrophenia tour,  Los Angeles Nov. 22, 1973 (on the 10th aniversary of the assasination of President Kennedy).  They were flat.  It did get a lot better at the end of the show and they did an (apparently rare for that time) encore.  Townsend was unhappy with the performance and to his credit (and to some success) tried to fire things up near the end of the show.

I like AGD's theory that Country Air is the Air Element - Come back and prove it, AGD!!

Well, technically, it was actually God Only Knows, rather than How She Boogalooed It, so that's a little bit more of a comfort. Tongue

Hang on, Andrew left over this,

It's a message baord, if not  debate, what can we do here lol

Re: Doe D'oh! [Smiley Smile Message Board]

On the one hand, it's a shame that BB people are so offended when they're questioned.

On the other hand, Andrew is a class act.

On the nuclear-mutation hand, it's a shame that it was a debate over such a friggin' stupid song that chased him away.

Ah that's a shame, I really like AGD, hope he comes back.

I do hope AGD returns.  Maybe after a break he'll reconsider?

Whoa! As someone on a budget, I'm still using dial-up internet. So I REALLY noticed when it now takes a 2 megabyte download to flip from one page to another on smileysmile.net

What's going on?

 "And though MCCormick admits she abused cocaine and suffered from bulimia as she struggled to find more TV work, she insists it was Landy's treatments that sent her spiralling into a deeper depression. She says, "A really unfortunate thing was that I ended up getting treated by Dr. Eugene Landy, who was Brian Wilson's shrink - who was awful, I have to say. He sent me back so much. He put me on drugs - I didn't know if I was going or coming - and what he did to Brian was just awful. "I'm surprised that I'm still alive, but I feel like there's so much hope out there for people who are going through what I've been through. You have to ask for help."" - Charles LePage
 I didn't realize that McCormick was "treated" by Eugene Landy. Oops. - Ontario Emperor

I think he may be done on all message boards.  When he left here I went over to Shut Down and he was also involved in a thread there were someone was questioning some piece of knowledge he obtained by asking the person in question himself.  I think he just got fed up with people believing only what the want to believe.  It's too bad because I've learned a lot from him in the short time I've been around here, so hopefully he'll be back.

Yep, that's what it seems.

And I agree with you 100%, I hope he does return, as he has a wealth of knowledge.

I appreciate everything AGD contributed here.  He also shared a little bit of inside info with me via PM, which I really appreciated.  Not too controversial, but maybe just some hints beyond the hints he's shared on the board.  Andrew has gained the confidence of some of the insiders, and it puts him in a tough position if he learns something from the inside parties and people just blow it off (or at least do so in rude fashion, which I think was part of the problem).  He can't even say all he knows about some things.  I think I'd have second-hand post-traumatic stress syndrome if I knew some of the weird things that have happened in Beach Boys world, from childhood through now, that Andrew probably knows.

I like this message board though it goes through weird testy spats, and it will still be OK without Mr Doe
I enjoyed reading what he wrote though, so it's a real shame about this.
And most of all, the man obviously loved it.

Tom, since there are no labels on the link items and a lot of the items are similar in subject (performances), can you tell us which one is the Stamos pix link? TIA.

The tune of Mona just came to me - out of the blue. I haven't listened to this in ages.  It's a classic example of an elemental tune unlike anything preceding it, but appearing really basic and simple. It's a huge achievement, and if our Western culture was more ... cultural, Mona, and its second-cousin-twice-removed Shortening Bread would be default karaoke standards.
