   I really like this point of view. That’s another fascination about   
   SMiLe that I have. Brian was at the top of his game. He took drugs,   
   and immediately wrote his best songs. California Girls was the first   
   according to Brian..  Good Vibrations was the last big song for   
   Brian. Hes had many more, but it was the last big one.   Shortly   
   after the drugs  came the beginning of the end. Pet Sounds was that   
   beginning  SMiLE was the end. After SMiLE the long and winding road   
   began. However all this is major drama. I think we all love the drama   
   that comes with Brian and the album SMiLE. Judging from the intervues   
   and seeing him in the documetorys, hes not the same Brian he ones   
   was. But at least he can get up there and sing.  I actually like the   
   new song for the Tsunami victims too.
