Thirty-seven years after the original project disintegrated, Brian Wilson has re-recorded and released his Beach Boys' mysterious, magical SMILE.

I dreaded this moment, believing that Brian would mess it up. (Much of his solo output has been questionable.)

But I'm happy, HAPPY, H-A-P-P-Y to report that the album is wonderful, WONDERFUL, W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!!

My eyes are actually tearing up as I listen to SMILE--it's that well done, that moving, that surprisingly stupendous.

Thank you, God, for a year that has seen the release of both HARMONY and SMILE, both created under difficult circumstances and both wildly surpassing expectations.

Wow.

I can hardly breathe, but my smile is wide.

------------------
And I will always love
that sound until the day
I die.
