    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

    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.

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.

    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.

It's hard to dig into these controversial issues. It seems that you found the most credible information you could possibly find out there and you really work hard at doing this. I hope you make enough money on your patreon support. Seriously, if I wasn't going blind and my wife didn't have such horrible seizures and and strokes and I had any money to throw your way man that you certainly deserve it done I'm really proud to know that there are a few fantastic people out there who are that dedicated to explaining the history of music.

    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.

      @@filmretrospective5334 I think the way you landed each sentence ending in MJ came crashing down with a ominous thud at first. I'm just using it as an excuse for a Princess Bride reference. Just at the very beginning of the drug history, the marijuana references sounded a little "Reefer Madness".
      I think what did happen with weed back when, was that weed was (usually) harmless, so maybe the other drugs are harmless, too? Anyway, no biggie, just a poke in the ribs.

      Weed is a psychedelic that affects the brain, and Brian had a damaged brain, so it's worth noting how often he smoked to paint a clear picture of his mindset at the time​@@badad0166

      Not really. He was a decent songwriter and singer, but he never could accept that his cousin Brian was a genius and by far the greatest talent in the group, and one of the greats of the 60s.

      Could you imagine being Brian and hearing Strawberry Fields for the first time!?! They rendered him obsolete post Peppers, and he knew it.

      @@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.
