One more video for today, courtesy of a pointer from That Little Round-Headed Boy.
For those who don't know, Murry Wilson, father of three of The Beach Boys and their original manager (until Brian fired him, when Brian was still strong enough to stand up for himself), was an abusive, depressive, child-and-wife-abusing drunk (granted, there is some revisionism going on about this, that Brian, in his own mental illness, severely exaggerated his father's abuse for years in stories and his - ghostwritten - autobiography).
One evening, during the recording session for "Help Me, Rhonda," a drunken Murry showed up at the studio and attempted to "help." Brian let the tape run and kept the microphones open. There's a full 40-minute tape of what went on (and a more listenable 13-minute collection of highlights) at the WFMU blog, if you search.
Sounds like the basis for a humorous film, no?
The film is by Emily Geanacopolis of Boston, MA. Her other videos are available at YouTube HERE, or through her own (really neat) website HERE.
