Drummer reacts to "Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell

[@scottyhotty1003]

One of the best songs ever written. A country Masterpiece and Showcase of Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb!! ❤

[@ssia6938]

The song perfectly captures the loneliness of his job out in the middle of nowhere. He is trying so hard to deny his need for anyone.

[@jimg1950]

Comment from another video of this song: "My Dad was a lineman in the Midwest for 35 years. He walked in 5 minutes late to work one morning and his boss asked him why he was late. He explained that Wichita Lineman came on the radio as he was pulling in. The whole crew nodded approvingly and his boss said it was an acceptable excuse.

[@franksullivan1873]

Power line workers understand this commitment and the sad reality of always being on call to provide the needs of this country and it related in this simple song.

[@DougGrant-eu3iv]

"And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time". One of the most beautiful lyrics ever

[@Angelslvhf]

I agree - never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

[@Sprenklefish]

Absolutely. Gets me every time.

[@lazarus550]

Absolutely.

[@jimg1950]

My best friend and soulmate recently passed away from the ravages of pancreatic cancer...I had those words framed and placed by her headstone...till we meet again.

[@Cheryworld]

You have to see this man play guitar. He was the premier session guitar player for years, before becoming a big act on his own. His songs are lovely, and monster hits, but mello . In concert he would show off. He shreds like you wouldn't believe

[@hoovgroov1571]

"By the time I get to Phenoix is a must listen for Glenn

[@spadams999]

This was a huge hit back in the day. Glen Campbell had many, many hits. And Jimmy Webb was a genius at writing songs.

[@wowwhywow]

Let's put this song into context... Once upon a time...there was a LARGE amount of truckdrivers that went across country all day and night... more than today. And these truck drivers had a thing in there cab called an 8 track tape player. Truck drivers loved their 8 tracks. And Wichita Lineman touches those guys on a different level... there are lyrics that refer to not seeing your loved one as much as possible...trying to explain how you miss them and love them so much...then, importance of your work... and riding the big roads of the country... I mean... if you're a truckdriver... is there any song that could even come close to beating this? Maybe a few... but not many. Every 8 track player in the late 60's (and most of the 70's and 80's) in America came in contact with the 8 track cassette of Wichita Lineman. In every truck.

[@michaelmisanthrope]

I like the way that Morse Code was worked into the string arrangement as a nod to the telegraph lines which preceded the telephone lines.

[@timjester8555]

Rick Beato has a channel ( a must for music lovers), has an interview with Jimmy Webb about this song, explains that particular part, added post production.

[@gesundheit602]

This is why I love music from my childhood in the 70’s and records from the 60’s my parents played. Music had intros that allowed these songs to “breathe” and the arrangements of violins, cellos, horns, etc on top of the traditional instruments just carried you away. These are some of the reasons these songs remain timeless. I’m sad that so much of today’s music seems to be so disposable now, but at least we have all these great songs to listen to from the past. It feeds my soul. 🙂

[@jaycorby]

My wife and I married in June of 1967 (still together 57 years later), and in spring of 1968 we bought a cabinet model Fisher Philharmonic combination turntable/ AM FM radio. The music store where we bought this unit was owned by a man whose son I was teaching in ninth grade then. We had saved a lot of money through summer jobs, so we blew $800 cash on the stereo combo! Mr. Kaplan was so shocked that a couple our age (23 & 24) was able to plunk down eight $100 bills for the purchase that he threw in 3 or 4 brand new albums, and later on even invited us to his home for dinner. The Glen Campbell album displayed by Lee I still have, and it plays beautifully on the same stereo all these years gone by. Oh, as I recall, the other records were Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass, the newest one out by Cream and a Dionne Warwick 33rpm vinyl. Btw, I'll turn 79 this year and my wife 80, and all of this seems like yesterday.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Clearly you are a major dude. Keep on keeping on.

[@IDriveAnAudi]

I was born in 1961 and my parents had a lot of music including one of my mother’s favorite Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass album “whipped cream and other delights”. I clearly remember the album cover as well as the music! You are 2 years older than my brother.😊

[@ArniePorter]

Great story and although I’m about 10 years younger than you I can relate to that time and that music and how it must have sounded on that stereo cabinet you and your wife bought. You were definitely ahead of your time.

[@wowwhywow]

it's curious that the guy threw in the Cream record... that was quite a jump from Glen Campbell.

[@roberttomlinson3635]

I can relate with my wifes & my 50th. this August . I thought growing old would take longer !

[@brentfreeland5834]

Who remembers Glenn's Saturday night TV show?

[@glawnow1959]

The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour! Replaced the Smothers Brothers variety show IIRC. With Glen at what, 8 PM and Johnny Cash at 9, it was joked that crime in Arkansas fell dramatically on Wed nights because everyone had to be indoors watching TV!

[@mstewart109]

I sure do!!

[@ArniePorter]

Little known fact. Glenn Campbell toured with The Beach Boys in 1966 when Brian Wilson was on his touring hiatus. Glenn not only had an amazing voice. He also was one heck of a great guitarist. This song is such a classic and the arrangement is outstanding.

[@chrismartin6370]

This song makes me weep every time I hear it. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@richardfairlamb9728]

Me too. The arrangement and emotion in the song is transcendental.

[@pushpak]

Jimmy Webb, what an incredible songwriter. Glen, one of the great guitarist ever, borrowed Bassist and Wrecking Crew member Carole Kay's guitar for the solo.

[@cwby2854]

very nice...not many know that...even though Kaye came up with the opening bass lick.....he wrote it for Glen as a followup to By the Time I Get to Phoenix....and is another about his muse...Susie Horton....

[@RickTBL]

Probably the coolest country song would be "Ode To Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry, from 1967. It's southern gothic, and the most mysterious song, ever.

[@Jaseph2]

I was shocked to learn that Glen was great friends with Alice Coopers. ( They both became Christians and overcame drug addiction.) But what amazed me was that Alice said all the rock guitarists used to go to Glen to learn stuff from him because his guitar skills were phenomenal.

[@glenndespres5317]

Yeah, this song by Glenn Campbell delivered this way was what made country palatable for this rocker back then. But those were times when minds were more open. Check out By The Time I Get to Phoenix and Galveston and don’t miss Gentle on My Mind.

[@daytripper9222]

I've been playing this song for decades and I could just put it on a loop I love it that much, and one more thing I like to add I was so glad that you mentioned the drum at the fade out cause it always gets stomped on when it's played on the radio.

[@JimBliss23]

Not every day, but there are days and moods when I will insist that this is literally the perfect song... the greatest 3 minutes in recorded music. And I'm NOT a country music fan.

[@lindazee]

Well said! Agree!👍

[@marvinbone1379]

Great reaction ! You listened passionately and intensely, and allowed us to do the same. You have somewhat, "quiet eyes", but they conveyed alot.

[@plefevre]

Genius is genius, no matter what style of music you're talking about. Jimmy Webb was an absolute master songwriter.

[@scottyhotty1003]

This is such a great reaction video on so many levels I'm amazed that someone your age can get, process understand and enjoy all the levels and nuances to this song including the lyrics... Bravo as you restore my faith in mankind with this superb on point reaction! ❤🎶💯

[@wpollock1]

“By the Time I Get to Phoenix”, “Galveston” amount others….he is gold!

[@wowwhywow]

This is one of those TRULY magical songs. It defies explanation... goosbump inducing chord changes... The Wrecking Crew playing at their best... an orchestral arraingment that is both haunting and ingenius, topped with the perfect vocal. My favorite musician is Zappa...But this song is still pure magic. by the way... some of these musicians are playing on the album Freak Out by the mothers of invention

[@NVprods]

Glen Campbell was a member of The Wrecking Crew, and played guitar on dozens of monster hit songs in the 60's, from Frank Sinatra tunes to The Beach Boys and more. What an amazing musician and performer he was. He hit with this song, genius lyrics by Jimmy Webb, magnificent musical track by The Wrecking Crew, and a perfectly beautiful performance by Glen Campbell. Campbell also played that lead guitar section on a six string bass, giving it that special sound. "And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time." One of the best lyrics of all time.

[@jackadesman7143]

A perfect song!!!!

[@hoppers13]

Awesome session guitar player, great vocalist, and this song contains the line, “and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time”, one of the most intense lines ever written. And written of course by Jimmy Webb, one of America’s greatest songsmiths. Genre doesn’t matter in music; if it’s good, it’s good, and this is great.

[@MJ1]

Don’t let the mellowness fool you. Glen was part of the Wrecking Crew and played on some of the great classic tunes. Oh but the lyrics

[@L33Reacts]

This song rocked! I was honestly not expecting to like it that much but turned out to be my favorite song of the night almost 😌 😂

[@MJ1]

Get ready for everyone to tell you “I need you more than want you… and I want you for all time” is the greatest love lyric of all time… And they may be right…

[@scottyhotty1003]

Absolutely ​@@MJ1

[@michaelr4063]

One of the greatest songs of all time

[@ontrack16]

I learned a lot more about Glen Campbell in the documentary called The Wrecking Crew. Definitely a must watch! A lot of great songs! ❤ Upon hearing the song, I replayed it two more times. The progression you like contains a piano sample I’m familiar with. Very cool. I’d say I finally learned who Glen Campbell really is with this song. Being of The Wrecking Crew, they were so happy to contribute. Amazing song! ❤

[@olivervandebeer7492]

Glen was a national treasure..May he RIP.

[@wowwhywow]

the 12 string guitar featured on the song "Any Way the Wind Blows" from the album Freak Out...is Carol Kaye. The drums arre Hal Blaine...and later...this drummer (Jim Gordon) became Zappa's drummer. on Hot Rats and Apostrophe and a short series of live shows. And most of these guys from the wrecking crew are on Lumpy Gravy.

[@paulgatton1785]

One of the greatest country songs ever by Glen Campbell R I P) you should check out more--"Gentle on my mind" "By the time I get to Phoenix" "Dreams of the everyday housewife" and "Galveston". Glen Campbell was the first autograph I ever got-- in a cafe in San Antonio Texas at breakfast--he was sitting at the booth just across from us !!

[@gerrydantone6834]

Jimmy Webb lives on Long Island and also wrote "MacArthur Park" sung by Richard Harris. The song is CRAZY and worth a listen.

[@mark-be9mq]

Jim Gordon played pretty much w/ everyone: Traffic, Eric Clapton, John Lennon's, CSN&Y, The Byrds, Joe Cocker, B.B King, Carol King, Gordon Lightfoot, Carpenters, Tom Petty & Heartbreakers, Harry Nilsson, George Harrison, Neil Diamond, Randy Newman, Glenn among others

[@jonathanoverholts2036]

Jim plays on every track of Glen’s Gentle On My Mind and By The Time I Get To Phoenix albums. Joel Selvin’s new book on Gordon finally reveals how desperately he fought to overcome his mental illness and failed. A heartbreaking story. Jim was truly one of the very best drummers.

[@DaveSat6]

The thing that gets me, is the 2nd verse. You know you need some time off. To say you miss her and want time with her is an understatement. But the job, your responsibilities and your dedication, integrity, now just isn't the time to take that vacation. The down side is, that you also know that "the right time" isn't going to come. It tears at you inside. In my job, I feel it too. I understand. Thank you to Jimmy for putting it into words and to Glen for giving those words a voice.

[@mark-be9mq]

One of the best songs of all time. The arrangement, lyrics, and Glen's vocal phrasing. Chefs kiss.

[@michaelnorris7353]

I have to agree with you man in that this is not country - more easy listening - but very good. Glen Campbell was quite the amazing guitar player. You should hear him play Beethoven's "William Tell Overture" with a full symphonic orchestra.

[@Lwize]

One of my favourite songs...ever. Those strings have had a hold on me for 56 years (and counting).

[@jpmnewyork]

It's only considered "country" because people insist on stuffing everything into categories, and Glen Campbell was known primarily as a country artist. But it was written by Jimmy Webb, who was a mainstream and eclectic composer, and it topped the pop charts at the time. I was a teen into pop/rock at the time, but I loved this record -- and was surprised when it was my father, not me, who went out and bought the 45. It is simply a beautiful song and arrangement that crossed genre and generational boundaries. It's beauty has actually grown on me, and on many others, over the decades.

[@JimboKM]

The only thing wrong with this song is that it's too short!

[@robinstarkey6071]

Agreed, i never considered it country. It was just good, really really good. Supercedes genres

[@johnathanstruble1064]

The rabbit hole of Glen Campbell is deep and beautiful. Studio musician, before Solo artist, played on Sinatra albums, then the Wrecking Crew, the studio musicians brought in by Brian Wilson, for Pet Sounds , then co starred with John Wayne in True Grit, then went solo , and dropped top ten hits throughout the 70s. Unbelievable guitarist, singer songwriter, great suggestion, great reaction.

[@pflynn581]

Beautiful song by a very talented musician.A voice of velvet in his younger days.

[@cablebrain9691]

Short, but sweet. Glenn was a Country artist, but this is not really a Country song. It was more of a contemporary ballad. You should watch the movie, “I’ll Be Me,” concerning his struggle with, and eventual demise from, the insidious progression of Alzheimer’s disease. It’s both heart-breaking and uplifting, and demonstrates both his talent, his good-natured way, and the devotion of his family, friends, and fans, whom surrounded him.

[@starfire6122]

Don't forget the song he wrote/sang before he died of alzheimers..I'm Not Gonna Miss You...definitely a 3 kleenexer 💞✌️

[@scottyhotty1003]

You earned a subscribe with you doing your homework and due diligence before listening this is an absolute masterpiece Bravo❤

[@Fuphyter]

This song is incredibly beautiful. The melody is astounding. Played and sung to perfection. I've loved this song since I was a kid. It still gives me goosebumps. ❤

[@spazimdam]

Glad you enjoyed this Lee. This is good country, ie country from before the 80s. Old school country from the 50s and 60s was simply good music. And it did not all sound the same like country now does. Modern country is just pop/ hip hop crap that's mass produced. I'm a rock n roller from the 70s but I loved the old country that I would listen to with my folks back in the day, and Glen Campbell was one of the best. And he was an ace guitarist, in fact he was a member of the wrecking crew. Now you should explore more old school country like Roy Clark, Jimmy Dean, Johnny Cash, the Statler Brothers just to name a few.

[@GailEH]

A perfect song that expresses love and longing in a way very few can.

[@craigreid7178]

I would call this country-pop. Glen had a lot of hit in this genre.

[@danielmesery2904]

It's not just country🎶 imo. It's not. Just a winner.☮️ RIP G.C.

[@kratino]

Jimmy Webb and Glenn Campbell are both stellar talents. Phenomenal writing, singing, playing, and storytelling.

[@traceydsm]

What a great review! You offer an insightful take on this "existential" country song.

[@paularietta6744]

One of the best songs ever recorded.

[@mojorider8455]

This is one of the best songs ever---Jimmy Webb was Glenn's best songwriting partner. And yeah, this isn't really country, just something that transcends genres because of the lyrics. And that orchestration, the arrangement of the strings, wow, it's so beautiful and wistful. More Glenn Campbell please; go listen to some of his last songs, "Ghost on the Canvas" and "Any Trouble", written by indie artist Paul Westerberg of the Replacements, if you want poignancy (Glenn was already afflicted with Alzheimers when he recorded those tunes).

[@nicksylvester426]

You're right Lee, I don't call it country either. It's just phenomenally good and not to be categorized. Check out "By the time I get to Phoenix". There's a great live version I've seen on you tube.

[@kevinmcconnell3641]

A Glen Campbell story for you; Back before Glen got sick and his ability to play degraded, Eddie Van Halen approached glens golfing buddy Alice Cooper and asked him if Alice could hook Eddie up with a guitar lesson from Glen Campbell. I saw an interview with Alice where he was talking about Glens ability on the/with a guitar?? This is a Jimmy Webb composition! Jimmy wrote lots of songs that won a Grammy or two or ten back in the day!

[@carlperry5932]

Yes , the story of commitment to an important , but lonely Job , and the longing for love and being needed by the ONE IN YOUR LIFE

[@angielofton6372]

The line you repeated kills me every time I hear it. “And I need you more than want you, and I’ll want you for all time”. I recently went to see Jimmy Webb do a show where he sang his songs and told lots of stories. It was great. You get it, kid.

[@wowwhywow]

I saw a video of Billy Joel talking about that line...he says..."My God....he must really NEED HER alot!!"

[@Peter-oh3hc]

For me there are songs that just stand alone. This is one of them

[@debbiegrubb6235]

I love this haunting song. Especially the line "i need you more than want you, and i want you for all time".

[@perrymalcolm3802]

A sublime song! For progressive country/western, I love Lyle Lovett. Try IF I HAD A BOAT

[@wouterdemuyt1013]

Glen acted in True Grit oppositie John Wayne. Great movie!

[@RichardSchaefer-zx9ig]

Good reaction to "Wichita Lineman". Used to hear on AM/Pop radio in the late '60s. Didn't think of it as country music at all. You referenced Carol Kay and she was part of the 'Wrecking Crew's w Glen Campbell, Leon Russell etal. A real trailblazer, female bassist, w children playing w the boys. The documentary of these musicians, comprising the Wrecking Crew, is essential to get a grasp of Popular music in mid - late '60s. That along w Mussel Shoals are 2 PBS films that opened my eyes, and millions of others, to the magic produced @ both locations. Glen C. also had hits w 'Galveston' + 'Gentle on my Mind's and others.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

Glen was the only guy in the wrecking crew who didn't read music. He was so good it didn't matter. One of the best guitarists, beautiful voice. I remember watching his tv show when I was a kid. Every song has some hot guitar licks in it.

[@jeffreythaw3333]

That cool guitar riff that opens the Beach Boys' Surfing USA: that's Glen Campbell! He was part of the L.A. session players known as The Wrecking Crew. Glen had many hits as a solo artist. Check out By The Time I Get to Phoenix, Gentle On My Mind, and Rhinestone Cowboy.

[@827dusty]

I'm more of a Rock guy at 67 years old, but Glenn Campbell was one hell of a writer and performer. He was a "Beach Boy" for a short time, and also a member of L.A.s famed recording studio musicians "The Wrecking Crew." Glenn was one of the greatest guitarists in the world, Rock, or otherwise, and artists from all different genres knew it. He was a great talent. Unfortunately, Glen passed away a few years ago from Dementia. My mother passed away from the same terrible disease. Thanks for this great song. God Bless all

[@joymoore1904]

Absolute one of my fave male vocalists. One of the greats for sure.

[@HareDeLune]

Glen Campbell was huge back in the 70's. I remember his picture on a box of breakfast cereal, with a 45 rpm single stamped on the box that you could cut out and play.

[@scravitz1958]

Others have mentions song titles by J. Web but I always considered ; witchita lineman, Galveston and By the time I get to phoenix, J Webs SW trilogy for Campbell. They all had similar themes and title cities, listen to all three if you get time.

[@brewstergallery]

Groove Goddess Carol Kayes opening bass lick is a killer. You gotta watch the documentary The Wrecking Crew and be amazed at how many songs they played on.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

L33, in the music industry, the Wrecking Crew were equivalent to hired "Gunslingers" and Glen was a Crew member before he hit it big. During the 1960s my dad listened to Country and some Rock and my mother Motown, Rock, Pop, Top 40, R&B Soul, and Jazz. We never knew every song we heard on the radio the Wrecking Crew played on the records. You must watch the "Wrecking Crew" Rockumentary. edit: of course not on every song we heard.

[@Atom-56]

Love that song!

[@L33Reacts]

I see why. This was awesome.

[@suelinder7395]

His intonations go straight to my heart. I can feel his yearning for his loved one.

[@theeloquentbaby]

Written by Jimmy Webb ❤️

[@johncrookston6111]

Good tune! Glenn is a monster guitar player R.I.P. Glen Campbell

[@strathman7501]

One of the great tracks of the pop era.

[@andrewcole3736]

Jimmy Webb also wrote Galveston which Glen Campbell recorded and it’s another Jimmy Webb stand out song. I don’t think of this as a country song either but I’m not much into putting music in boxes. I was on tour in Texas when this came out and I remember hearing it on the tour bus radio and completely blown away by the song and the production. Glen was the real deal. 🕊❤️🎼

[@suzy8track]

Absolutely love this song. One of the greatest ever written. I was only 4 when it was released, and it was years later that I heard it and really listened to it and gained an appreciation for the lyrics and the beautiful melody.

[@bobcorbin3294]

I hate to put labels on music but when this came out it was considered more pop than country. It really takes me back to being a 10-year-old kid and hearing this on the radio.

[@gj8683]

I received a copy of this album as a birthday or Christmas gift when I was 10 or 11 years old. Glen Campbell fan from then on.

[@ZaimoZaragazzo]

Impressive song shortly after this one Charlie Rich came out with "The most beautiful girl". So many great artists with meaningful and heartfelt music.

[@johngriswold2213]

Easy On My Mind. another classic Campbell cut.

[@rwarner06b03d]

Gentle On My Mind

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Beautiful beautiful song. Magical how it carries us away.

[@phillipschwoerke8374]

For me this has always been part of the " Nashville Sound" era of country. It was played on Country stations but it is not traditional Country and Western. It's still enjoyable but for many people it's not gritty enough.

[@edwinawilcox663]

Not really country but country artists and fans embraced Glen. Glen Campbell himself was a fan of country. He was also an exceptional and accomplished guitarist - some say the best in the business. Had a bad addiction to cocaine for a period of this life but thankfully he overcame it.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Didn't know Country songs could be existential. Glen Campbell was an excellent musician, and one of the first Country stars to break through to the mainstream music market. "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy" were huge hits, and led to him getting his own TV show, "The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour", which ran for several years.

[@Squarewave39]

Glen Campbell was a virtuoso guitar player played on sessions for the beach, boys and many others check out Pat Matheny’s incredible cover of this song

[@mitzifrancis9843]

The song Galveston, about a soldier far from home, is as haunting a story is this one. I think you'd really like that one too.

[@vaquerojoe1976]

This song transported me to a place and a time where I got to see my folks again. Thank you.

[@jonathanroberts8981]

The hook of this song initially for me is the “telegraph” rhythm just after the “is still on the line.” But the whole song is great and this performance is perfect.

[@Linda-y9h]

So glad you covered this and appreciate all types of music that we listened to on the radio. The next song after this song could have been Motown or rock or Reggie. We got it all. ❤😊

[@thescrewfly]

Worth noting that, just before he started his solo career, Glen Campbell toured with the Beach Boys standing in on bass and vocals for Brian Wilson who no longer wanted to do live work. In other words he was a known reliable talent in more than just country music. This song may not be pure country but apart from his session work Campbell also sat in with The Kentucky Colonels from time to time - and they certainly were.

[@chitownlee]

I aways get a tear in my eye when I hear this. This came out in 1968 and this was the love of my life and mines song, we were 18. Jimmy Webb is a great song writer and Glen is not only a great singer but his guitar playing will knock you out. Great reaction as usual, Lee!

[@robertthole695]

a documentary about the wrecking crew is amazing

[@davidschecter5247]

Jimmy Webb was one of our greatest songwriters at the time. Glen Campbell one of the best vocalists and better guitarist than 99% of the most famous guitarists. You should check out a video of Glen playing guitar. Unbelievable. It's "pop music." Glen was the first HUGE country-crossover artist. One of the most talented "country" musicians ever. Jimmy and Glen were one of the great "partnerships" in songwriter/singer history. Check out "Still Within the Sound of My Voice" and ""The Moon's a Harsh Mistress" and "Galveston" for more amazing collaborations between them.

[@erolbulut2584]

One of the best guitar players, ever

[@scottyhotty1003]

33.7K!!! 50K around the bend!!!❤

[@sciwiz57]

An absolute masterpiece by Jimmy Webb and recorded by Glen and the legendary Wrecking Crew!

[@ChrisEchoes]

Great story about this song and the instrumental break: Campbell called Webb to ask for another song with a name of place in it (like By The Time I Get To Phoenix) and so Webb eventually sent Wichita Lineman but he said he needed to work on it a bit more. Webb didn't hear back from Campbell so a while later he called and asked if he didn't like cause he never heard from him again. Campbell's reaction was 'Oh, we just recorded it!!" ... and then Webb told him that the song wasn't finished and he wanted to add one more verse. 'Too late', was Campbells reaction, song is coming pretty soon.

[@dekk640]

Glen Campbell passed me by in my youth, too square too country and it was my loss. I got into him when I read that he did a stint in the Beach Boys on tour. Let's face it Brian Wilson certainly knew better than most of us. Sorry I didn't take you seriously in my early years, so underrated.
