Absolutely Michael Brian’s Dad was a Narcissist

I can see why he was a regular viewer of "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" during his bedroom era. When he was going through depression, he needed a TV friend to tell him he was special. As someone on the Autism spectrum, the comforting voice of Fred McFeely Rogers was great therapy for me as well

A begrudgingly honest account of a musical genius and the history of The Beach Boys. Depressing and important.

Can’t wait to watch this, i absolutely love Brians music and the beach boys, especially their deep cuts, early 70s very late 60s stuff. Even the mid 70s stuff rocked. thanks for the content!

Excellent documentary! It covers all of the important history with the exception of 2004 Brian Wilson Presents Smile.

Your documentary immediately intrigued me from the beginning. Your displaying of truly obscure pictures and films was really appreciated by me. I thought I'd seen much of the rarer visual materials, but you unlocked so much that To hadn't seen. Seeing them in their very early days, when they were just a small local band, operating from Hawthorne, playing at school assemblies, or at local shopping malls (never imagining their nation-wide, let alone world-wide) fame, is always fascinating. So thank you. Yours is probably the best documentary I've seen.

One correction. Melinda and Brian married on Marilyn Wilson’s birthday. Because Brian said that way he would always remember their anniversary date.

This might be your best video I watched it start to finish. The Beach Boys are fascinating

The Lonely Sea is my most favorite song by the Beach Boys. Brian's voice is beautiful! ❤

Brian and Gary Usher were best friends and wrote and recorded a lot of great stuff together. Murray felt threatend by Gary and tried to shut him out. Still, Brian and Gary were friends for life.

There's only one thing I would have added to your presentation. The fact that Jan and Dean co-wrote surf City with brian. He didn't think it was going to be a hit and it was the actual first number one hit from Brian Wilson as co-writer I just found that out a little while ago myself. I had no idea either. There's just so much to know.

The shift in key of "Caroline, No" was achieved by pitching up the tape speed on the tape machine recorder- Murray told him it'd make it sound "sweeter". Brian was reluctant at first but eventually agreed.

How on earth does this guy have less than 10,000 subscribers? I've been binging these docs for days!

I've never watched anything on Brian before, eventhough I've heard he's had problems. Seems like he was basically screwed from the get go, his father was a nightmare. It's sad that he was taken advantage of his whole life. Never been into the Beach Boys much, but this makes me wanna learn a bit more of Brian's work. This is another fantastic video, I loved the Brian Jones and now this. I'll definitely have to check out more videos.

More than likely fictional. No one ever mentioned this before and Love was actually pro Murray back then.

Watching old videos of the beach Boys during their corporate surf band days lol Mike Love looked that a dorky dad doing Karaoke

In 1979 Brian bought my childhood home, very close to Dennis’s old house that the Manson family invaded, he lived there for part of the Landy years, and somehow the house was sold to Landy for $10,000, despite being worth in the mid to high six figures at the time. So many people in his life solely wanted to take advantage of his genius, Murray, asshat Mike Love, Landy.

Great work!!

I only got a few minutes into your video and it's already better than other guys video I sent you. Don't get me wrong. He's very amusing. But you really put the footwork into this.

My heart goes out to Brian, because he was clearly yet another creative deep heart that was targeted by sadistic/evil forces. My gut feeling is that Brian was being targeted by more than just the father ad Psychologist. I have one big question; were the "voices in his head" caused by a natural "illness" or were they caused by the V2K that some Targeted Individuals experience? The truth is important for the sake of the safety and freedom of ALL of humanity.

@@farrellmcnulty909 True. I just remember a story I’ve heard a few times, about how Brian and a friends were driving home from a burger joint in the middle of the night, and it was Strawberry or Penny, that made him pull over to the side of the road to listen. And he wound up saying, “they did it. They did it” I think he did believe that he couldn’t beat that. In combination with the drugs and mental health problems, I believe the Beatles work of Peppers was something he’d really liked to have done, and I’m guessing it crushed his hopes. I’m just speculating anyway. I’m a big fan of Brian’s songwriting.
