Dreamer

I was lucky enough to receive a vinyl copy of Dennis Wilson's masterpiece Pacific Ocean Blue last October. Thankfully it has been reissued so more people can share in all of its blissed out glory. I have been re-reading a book called The Real Beach Boy, by John Stebbins, an odd man who MC T and I had the pleasure of listening to one stony evening in San Francisco many years ago. Stebbin's mission (aside from heinous non-fiction prose) is to prove to the world how important (and bad ass) Dennis Wilson is. Its sorta funny to make it your mission to be the spokesperson for a womanizing OJ-and-vodka-out-of-the-jug drinker like Dennis, but after getting into some of his deeper cuts on POB and in the Beach Boys, its hard not to preach about the man and his music. This is one of his finer moments as a songwriter.
