AXS TV showed the Triumph documentary Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine last night, and all day I’ve had this running through my head.

Been meaning to watch Apothecary Diaries.
I’ve been watching a donghua show that i can only describe as Chinese Martial Arts + Pokemon. It’s ok, but the end credits song has been stuck in my head

Worth noting that 3 years later, Brian Wilson would record his own rap song:
Featuring such lyrical gems as, “wouldn’t it be nice / if PhDs / were stroking me / with hypothesis”.

I didn’t know that Dennis, who IMNSHO was the best-looking, was the only one who got into surf culture.

This is true. Dennis was the real deal when it came to surfing (Brian was afraid of the water and Carl never struck me as the athletic type). He may not have had the vocal chops of his two brothers, but he grew into a pretty talented musician producing some really good solo material until his untimely death.
He was indeed the sex symbol of the band, and he happily took advantage of that at every opportunity. It’s said this was how Manson got his hooks into him, by plying Dennis with women and drugs in attempt to ride his coattails to success in the music biz.
There’s a never ending trove of “you can’t make this shit up” kind of stories when it comes to these guys. Love & Mercy barely scratched the surface of Brian Wilson’s life. Dennis Wilson could have a biopic all of his own with all of the kind of wild and crazy stuff he went through. Carl was the quiet one out of the three, but he did serve time for being a draft dodger during Vietnam and was instrumental in holding the group and family together in the 1970s and 1980s.

I think Dennis stopped caring about being alive after the TLB murders. One thing I hate about the 1960s-1970s hip-pop scene was them watching their peers and geniuses destroy themselves and not intervening because, you know, man - everybody gotta do their own thing man, like, you know?
My dad died in 1996, so the closest we had to GoT back then were historical dramas on PBS (well, at least that my dad enjoyed watching). He said that all the tv and movie industries could go back in history and find lots of material. (And he liked “Fun, Fun, Fun” and I think "Help Me Rhonda)
I think he’d blow a gasket over “Gladiator”. And the WWII stuff would drive him nuts, especiallty those taking place in the Pacific Theater, because he was there. My brother said that Clint played a version of my dad in “El Camino”. In any case he would most certainly say that Eastwood should stick to cowboys and Dirty Harry and leave the history alone. (Dad was also a big Kurt Vonnegut fan, but I could never figure out which book got him started.)
