Holiday cleanup
Watched the Kennedy Center honors show over the holidays. The entire narration of the Diana Ross story managed to talk about her without ever using the word "Supremes," interestingly enough. Brian Wilson was honored, incredibly ravaged-looking, a walking "this is your brain on drugs" PSA.
I remember hearing Wilson interviewed on Fresh Air when Smile came out. He told Terry Gross that too many bad trips had left him with voices inside his head, and that he had to spend much of the day meditating to try to quiet them down. When Gross asked him what the voices said, he just replied, "You don't want to know. Terrible, terrible things."

Brian Wilson has come a long way since the surf & car songs from the early 60's. It was great that he received the honor. BTW, if you haven't heard "Smile" in its entirety, you need to. But first, you need to listen to "Pet Sounds", then "Smile". Pure genius, in my opinion.
