The Dementia Dimension

Guess Brian's favorite album is the Phil Spector Christmas.
Maybe now he can celebrate Christmas everyday.


Oh god, I have PTSD from that playing every Christmas when I was young, when I hear one of the songs now and it finishes I always hear the next album track start in my head

Yep, I know that feelin' of expectin' to hear somethin' next.
Did ya ever have a record that skips or a tape that pops in a
certain place in a song and then when ya hear a clean version
of the song, it sounds kinda weird?
 
"What Brian came to mean was an ideal of innocence and naivety that went beyond
teenage life and sprang fully developed songs. Adult and childlike at the same time.
I thought how it was difficult for me not to believe everything he said. There was
something genuine in every lyric. That can be a very heavy burden for a songwriter."
- John Cale

 
The idea of conservatorship makes one nervous after what happened to Britney Spears.

Brian Wilson's wife died in January. She was his pillar and managed his affairs. They have several adopted children.


Hopefully everyone will do the right thing by each other.

The 2014 biopic Love & Mercy is a recommendation to chase up.

Ya gotta hope Brian is bein' taken care of.
Him and Melinda adopted them 5 kids, so at least one
of them has got to be willin' to help.
Plus Brian has his two daughters from the first marriage
and he seemed to be a good father to'em, so they seem
like they'd do the right thing.
 
Brian didn’t need stereo. Half Beethoven, he really only had one ear, seems that didn’t stop him. Neither will dementia.


 
Doin' Nothin' keeps ya Busy.
That's when the inspiration gets fizzy.


Doin' nothin' can be the way to get thuns done!
