   Thanks! Thought maybe it was just me!   
      
   In response to the other post:   
   I too can appreciate avante-garde music; I used to be a big fan of   
   some of Coltrane's weirder stuff, Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, some rock   
   electronic experiments (Seastones) etc....   
   BUT, I have to be in the "mood" for this, you know, sitting down and   
   giving it my full attention, and in a mood for "heavy" music...   
   (Not that "Smile" isn't "heavy", but I think you get what I mean...)   
      
   I bet MOLC WOULD be great as part of the live show, and SOMEtimes it   
   is fine with me, even on the album. But I am just saying that most of   
   the time, I find it disrupts the flow, and I wish it either wasn't   
   there, or was a little less intense. I do find the Beach Boys version   
   to be less intense, by the way, but still could do without it most of   
   the time.   
      
   I agree that it is a great piece of music, I just think it disrupts   
   the flow on "Smile", and even if it's supposed to do that, I don't   
   care for it most of the time.
