   Like most of you, I have been waiting for Smile for 37 years.  I have the   
   boots of recent concerts, I have SOT, I have Smile Project, and I have   
   tickets to the tour.  Obviously, unless Brian turned Smile into GIOMH, I was   
   going to like it.  But how would a 16 year old daughter and a 30 year old   
   employee like it?   
      
   My daughter is a lot like me in that she likes strong melodies, but she also   
   likes the current alt rock scene.  No Britney for her.  Well, she was blown   
   away!  She even listened to it on headphones and it will soon be on her   
   iPod.  That's a pretty good indicator that someone who doesn't know the   
   Smile myth and hype could love the music.   
      
   My 30 year old employee is a music buff as well, listening to everything   
   from Pat Metheny to Bruddah IZ.  Not a Beach Boy fan.  I played it for him   
   in my car (great sound system) and he was also blown away.  His comment:   
   "It is so great to hear someone who is totally into being creative and   
   artistic" and said it is unlike anything he has heard - and he liked it!   
      
   Keep sharing Smile! Maybe Brian is finally made for these times.
