Baxie talks to author/filmmaker David Leaf. For more the last 47 years David has been the trusted friend and biographer for Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. In his latest book “SMiLE: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Brian Wilson” recounts the story of pop music's greatest lost album and how it came back to life. This is the single greatest story in the history of pop music. And David Leaf, who also made the brilliant documentary “Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of SMiLE” (2004), has done an incredible job of diving even deeper into the story. It's an amazing conversation! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

In this episode of My Rock Moment, we're diving deep into one of rock and roll's most legendary what-could-have-beens… and what-finally-was. Back in 1966, fresh off the groundbreaking success of Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson set out to create his magnum opus: Smile. With poet and lyricist Van Dyke Parks at his side, the project promised to be a revolutionary leap forward—a kaleidoscopic, avant-garde album that would redefine what pop music could be. But as recording progressed, the pressure from within the band, the label, and Brian's own mental health struggles led to the album's unraveling. The sessions were shelved, and Smile became one of music history's greatest mysteries—a “lost” album that haunted fans, scholars, and Brian himself for decades. That is, until the early 2000s, when Smile finally got its moment in the sun. Reimagined and completed by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks nearly 40 years later, the album was not only resurrected—it was performed live, recorded, and finally released, closing the loop on one of rock's most mythical stories. Joining us to unpack it all is David Leaf—acclaimed writer, director, producer, and longtime friend of Brian Wilson. David has chronicled Brian's life and legacy for decades, and in his new book, SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson, he brings fresh insight into Smile's rise, fall, and miraculous comeback.

The Beach Boys' SMiLE was abandoned by Brian Wilson in 1967 and eventually performed at an emotional gathering of the faithful in London 37 years later. For writer and lecturer David Leaf it became an obsession. He made a documentary about it in 2004 and has just published ‘SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson' drawn from detailed conversations with the people involved. He talks to us here about his discoveries, which include … ... the Rolling Stone story that kick-started his obsession. … “a bicycle ride from Plymouth Rock to Hawaii” and other early plans for the album. … how Leonard Bernstein, the Beatles and Derek Taylor racked up the pressure in the studio. … why the other Beach Boys – and Capitol and Murry Wilson - felt the new music was a threat to their livelihood. … how Brian composed the “teenage symphony for God” that became an albatross around his neck. ... “Ray Davies needed a deadline”: the perils of endless recording time. … the magnetism of Van Dyke Parks, a man who “talks in paragraphs”. ... the imagined impact on the world and the band's career if SMiLE had come out in 1967. … the birth of “art rock” versus the strictures of the music business. … the value of the SMiLE myth in the eventual rebirth of the Beach Boys. … the reaction to its long-awaited performance at the Festival Hall in 2004. ... why Brian thought shelving the album would save the group yet “they went from a No 1 single to an act nobody cared about in under a year”. ... and the greatest Beach Boys record of all time. Order SMiLE: the Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson here: https://omnibuspress.com/products/smile-the-rise-fall-and-resurrection-of-brian-wilson-published-10th-october-2024?_pos=1&_psq=smile&_ss=e&_v=1.0Help us to keep the conversation going by joining our worldwide Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Writer, producer, and director David Leaf recently appeared on the “We Think It's Funny” podcast, hosted by comedians Mark Schiff and Daniel Lobell, to discuss his latest book, SMiLE: The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson. In the episode, Leaf delved into the intricate history of the Beach Boys' ambitious yet initially shelved album, SMiLE, highlighting Brian Wilson's creative genius and the challenges he faced during its production. The conversation also touched upon the album's eventual revival and its significance in music history. Leaf's insights provided listeners with a deeper understanding of Wilson's artistic journey and the enduring legacy of SMiLE.

SMiLE was an album that never came out. Not in the '60s when it was made. Not after Pet Sounds. Brian Wilson made an album-when he was 24- that was so visionary it nearly broke him. And this tremendous book gives you everything you ever wanted to know about how SMiLE became myth, then obsession, then burden, and then finally against all odds- triumph! *Want to win a free copy of Queen & A Night At The Opera: 50 Years?  It's easy, just send me an email to sign up.

Afterward, she took a 10 day silent Vippassana retreat in the Himalayan mountains.

We're finally back after a record-breaking hiatus.  These things will happen when the entire country freezes over.  Snowpocalypse was a disappointment compared to last week, and it didn't even get a name this time.  That's okay, because we're inside thinking about the warm ocean air anyway, because we're all Beach Boys fans.  David is too, as evidenced by the fact that he wrote God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and the California Myth.  You've gotta be a pretty big fan of something to write a book about it.  Even moreso to wake up early to talk about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whatever the subject, he presents it in an engaging, entertaining, and meaningful way so the audience is transported on a journey they'll never forget. “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”——Michelangelo David Leaf - Go to www.leafprod.com for more!

We see the undercurrent, the silent hand or the invisible hand all the time, but there are seasons, there are moments in our lives where the visible hand of God is present and evident.” Daniel 4 “Why don't we start our planning season with reminding ourselves that it seems good to us to show the signs and wonders of the Most High God?” “It's good for us to remind each other of God's presence and His faithfulness and His being with us.” “The Bible isn't abstract and irrelevant, but relevant and speaks into the daily things of our lives if we just take a few minutes to read and understand and know.” Romans 12:2 James 3:17-18 “Where are we going to reap the most harvest for God's Kingdom? Are the actions we're going to take going to be peace-loving? Are they considerate, are they full of mercy and good fruit?” “As we go into each season, we can take a moment to take a look at what God has done.” “These moments of reminding and being faithful to retelling the stories of God's hand in our lives are the foundation for us to then launch into all that God has for us next.” “We live in this world, then, where God is asking us to do the mission that he has, this redeeming work all around the world, and yet He's never asking us to over-own this.” “Father, I'm always willing to ensure that You stay as the owner, and I will steward whatever mission You have in front of me.” “What do you want me to do about this, God?” “God, I want You to do all that You can, everything You desire here, to make this right, and Father, I'll be whatever You need me to be to help You accomplish whatever You're desiring.” “If we're running so hard and fast, we can sometimes miss what God is saying.” What's changing our lives: Keane: Having both kids in school Heather: Returning from sabbatical David: Leaf blower Weekly Spotlight: Arbor Christian Academy We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast  Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/
