Title: Nothing to SMiLE about here
Product review: Like the others who have reviewed this book, I have a long time interest in Brian Wilson, and the Beach Boys. I have read a great deal about them, already. Much of what I have read is very good, especially Timothy White's book.However, like so many others, I was delighted to see SMiLE finally completed, and - no matter what I have already read - I felt that this book promised to be a 'straight-from-the-horses-mouths' chronology of the once-thought impossible chain of events that resulted in the release of this fabled album.Boy, was I ever wrong about that!How does self-important, psycho-babble art-speak like this ever actually see its way into print?Are there no book editors, anymore?If you are looking for the real, professionally written, competent, clear, insightful, and historically accurate story of SMiLE...well...like the rest of us, you'll have to look elsewhere.
