Dr. Landy was CLEARLY abusing his position and committing serious breaches of ethics. BUT.... without him Brian would've VERY LIKELY continued on the path of drug abuse till he died. Yes, Brian could've kicked his addictions on his own but that would've been a very slim possibility due to the many past and present unhealthy emotional problems (not all of them due to Brain I might add). THE TRUTH? Brian Wilson's life is FULL of people, who were double edged swords for him. Dennis Wilson was supportive and loving. But also, at times a bad influence. Mike Love was a collaborator and his other half, in terms of song creation. But, also jealous and hurtful. Murray instilled discipline and the love of music. But, also very harmful to him. And sadly, NOT JUST with words. As with all of them Brian, loved and still loves them. Each one of them helped and hurt Brian in equal measure. Brian Wilson's biggest problems stem from the people in his life who made him who he is and continues to be. Family and friends are the best and worst thing you can have. One of the challenges you have to face. David
Very interesting. Makes the Wilson/Landy thing a lot more reasonable perspective than made by the usual PR - one of those things where it was complicated. Good stuff. Make more of it when you have the time.
He was so mentally ill and confused he dedicated the book to landy, yet when he watched the movie he said he was panick stricken watching the scenes of landy and felt like it was real all Over again and was scared shitless!!!
Great video as always, thanks for posting... wonder if a video about the Ramones might be worthwhile? Slightly different style of music and time period from your usual stuff, but their history makes just as compelling a story as any of your other work - a story of addiction, conflict, mental illness etc
Been watching all your Beach Boys videos. Keep ‘em coming 😊
Awesome! Thank you!

Wow. Got so brainwashed by the guy that he still loves him.
Brain Wilson!
First? Love your work!
