    I am a big fan of Brian Wilson's music and Brian himself. I was on   
   Brian Wilson's official web site the other day. I was listening to   
   the various interviews with Brian over the years. I noticed a big   
   difference between an interview back in 1976 and a more resent   
   interview with Shawn Lennon. In the 76 interview Brian seemed to be   
   extroverted and very confident. When he was asked a question, he gave   
   a complete answer, and the interviewer didn't seem to have a hard   
   time keeping the conversation moving. Brian was very articulate with   
   his words, and it wasn't hard to understand him. Although I notice   
   that when he sang the song Sloop John B, he didn't go into the   
   falsetto part of his voice. His voice even in 76 sounded a bit husky   
   when he sang.   
      
   Now on the interview with Lennon, Brian seems introverted and he   
   slurs his words. He's not articulate when pronouncing words.  The   
   interviewer seems challenged to keep the conversation moving along.   
   Brian doesn't seem to elaborate  on a subject like he did in 76. He   
   has short answers now and the interviewer is forced to keep things   
   moving.   
      
   To me it just sounds like two different people being interview. Did   
   something happen to Brian? Did he continue doing drugs after that   
   interview, and now there's brain damage?   
   Im not putting him down in anyway, im just wondering if something   
   happened to him.   
      
   Thank you for anyone who knows
