“‘Nineteen [years]? Sounds impossible, doesn’t it,’ said lead guitarist Carl Wilson, telephoning between workouts at the Century West Health Club in Los Angeles. […] ‘We’re still going on. In fact, ‘Goin’ On’ is our new single.’ […] How come people haven’t tired of that ‘Fun, Fun, Fun’ and ‘California Girls’ surging sound? ‘They need it. Look at the news stories. They don’t need heavy music all the time. People need to relax. They really need some simple clear and “up” music,’ said [Carl] Wilson. […] ‘Well, it’s like the old cliche. The more you change, the more you stay the same. Some of our songs on our new “Keepin’ the Summer Alive” album have that old ‘60s sound,’ Wilson said. ‘I guess we kind of have a knack of renewing ourselves.’ […] Love and Jardine have turned to transcendental meditation to help with the pressures of the rock business. ‘And I’m into [MSIA]. That’s the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness,’ said Wilson. ‘It’s a church. It helps you to relax. I was recently involved in insight training. It was a powerful, incredible experience. Even my ex-wife, Annie, took it.’ Wilson is being divorced but says that his life has been full of harmony since meeting Gina, a California girl.” - article by Jane Scott, The Plain Dealer (February 25, 1980)

I wasn’t expecting for Brian’s team to release the video they played during his memorial to commemorate his 84th birthday, but I’ll admit watching this did get me chocked up 😭😭😭

I want people to understand that I'm here to create for them. To create music for people so they'll know that I'm a source of love. And they can depend on my name. — Brian Wilson

“We knew that Pet Sounds was a very special record, and to us, it was more than a record. It was a new place, it was popular music coming to a new level. And it was magnificent to hear ‘Sloop John B’ come out of the speakers with that brilliant arrangement; there was just something so thrilling about it.” - Carl Wilson, The History of Rock ’n’ Roll (1994)
