TraceOneInfinite:
interesting story, Brian Wilson sounds like he has a good heart

Trauma-san:
He does, man, an uncannily good heart.  I admire the struggles he's overcame, and the willingness he has to just LIVE, he doesn't want to die, I admire that.  I saw a live DVD of the Beach Boys live @ Knebworth in 1980 the other night, and Brian didn't sing but 1 line in 1 song, and sat there, 300 pounds, at the edge of the stage, looking like he wanted to die, playing piano all night.  For him to come from that to where he is today is just a testimony to the power of the human spirit,... seeing things like that happen in people's lives is the main reason I believe in God.   There has to be a God, no man is powerful enough to overcome what he's overcame. 

Doggystylin:
He weighed 300 pounds?

Trauma-san:
Yes.  Crazy, heh?  I'm telling you, words can't describe how close this guy was to being gone, he was living in hell and came out of it, and has almost regained his former 'glory' of sorts.  He can almost sing as good, he can almost write as good, etc.  Really incredible. 

For another spin, Imagine right now, Dr. Dre started making Detox, everybody that heard it said it was incredible, the greatest rap album ever created... and then at the last minute, Dre cancelled the album... even though it was almost finished.  Instead, he put out some half-assed "Holding Tank" album, with two incredible songs that he says were originally on the Detox album, and the rest were so so... years go by, with Dre doing 1 track here and there for people, all incredible music, Dre baloons up to 300 pounds and starts staying in bed for months at a time, gets a divorce, is horribly addicted to drugs and alcohol, can't rap because his voice sounds horrible, goes insane and plays a copy of Quincy Jones' "Walking In Space" over and over and over and over again in his house... frequently tells people that he burned the Detox masters, it was crappy drug-influenced music, poses for the cover of Rolling Stone wearing nothing but Speedos...

and then you hear rumours Dre's quit the drugs, he's remarried, he's back in the studio... he announces that after nearly 40 years, he's going to release the finished version of Detox, and when he does, he sounds nearly as good as he did 40 years ago? It's really pretty incredible.  GO DRE!!!!
