"Approximately Perfect"
There's a palpable feeling of hope and joy with the increasingly clear swing of the pendulum towards sanity & โnormalcyโ.
I think this cartoon by Dave Granlund captures what could be a tipping point, a return of hope.
As our awesome Grandpa Joe is taking a much-deserved and timely bow, and confidently passing on the keys to the Corvette.

Thank you who/however this came to me...
A Look at a Slice of Frank Zappa's Life; Discussion with Moon Zappa
Perfectly in sync with the #psych #Music #biography #perspective such as seen with "Glimpses", and various memoirs and articles/interviews about the 'real-deal' of relationships and #context for some big celebrities - like #Dylan and #Band, as well as #BrianWilson and family, and some other well-known performers.
This one is very 'easy-listening', a spotlight (vicariously) on the life of #FrankZappa and #MoonZappa, in the aftermath of a 40-year anniversary of Frank's only commercial "radio song". So for teen-agers, he was upstaged by his 14-yr-old daughter! Her reflections:
A 29-minute interview, where Zappa reflects very thoughtfully and soberly, reflections & responses to some very good questions.
Think you may enjoy this, @V. T. Eric Layton if you've not seen it. Another "glimpse" from someone who knows (like Densmore!)
Bad YouTube! Trying to leave and the YT/Brian Wilson algorithm gods delivered another one up, another totally unexpected angle on this song I'd only casually known. A Brian Wilson and family favorite. With the voice Brian envisioned. Duly shared. Happy Sunday.
From the Beach Boys' 25th Anniversary, with Diamond Head/Waikiki behind, here's the voice Brian said was meant to sing this.
Sail on!

So, on a long air flight I had the chance to see this film I'd not heard of, about the great #BrianWilson (Beach Boys, etc.)
For me it was like the magnificent book Glimpses, in which a fictional character gets to hang out with a few stars, including Brian Wilson, in his car, visiting old homes and haunts, etc. In this movie, it's deja vu! Befriended by a Rolling Stone reporter, who has some natural (soothing) therapist chops, Brian talks about the "scary" stuff as well as happy memories, and plays DJ as well as a willing subject for questions and DJ'ing of his host/chauffeur and companion - in real life now!
Anyway, he spoke of his relationship with his brothers, the music scene and California scene, and favorite songs, his own and others'.
And Pet Songs too. One song he singled out as one of the best songs he wrote, a favorite, was this one:

Brian Wilson is 80 years old today. No need for deep cuts -- the big hits were masterpieces, the masterpieces were big hits. Happy birthday and thanks for all the music! ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐ #Music #ClassicPop #ClassicRock #BeachBoys #BrianWilson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYbyOCHvlV8

The song which soothed & led me towards the light after days-weeks-months of trauma and sadness and helplessness following 9/11. Goosebumps listening to this in the years since. From the gods.... And that sensitive soul of Brian Wilson. How many times I listened to this in a state of despair in the wake of the incomprehensible. Yes, love & mercy are key to survival & healing.
