I say!
I caught a taxi in London back in July, and I asked the driver if he'd had any other famous people in the back of his cab. He said "Yes - for example, I gave a lift to Brian Wilson the other day". Well, I nearly fell off my seat. It turned out that it was the real Brian Wilson, and not the Brian Wilson I know from Portobello.
Not only that, but the taxi driver said he'd recorded the whole thing. Hard to believe, but see below. I think you may need to click on the arrow to get it going:
Which rather brings to mind what I witnessed at Duneditin 2008 back in July, when Brian Wilson (Porty) attempted to interrupt the Ralwin Postulate session, and was brought down by Mr Albert McClochendichter, who I thought rather used excessive restraining force.
I have since heard, on good authority, that Brian Wilson (Porty)'s shouts of "Been too long", which started the whole business, referred to this song, and was not, as McClochendichter and the other delegates obviously thought, a criticism of the length of the session.

Mingin'! Unfortunately, the video things won't work on my steam driven computery thing, but I'll check it manana at the jobbie. But it couldn't have been the real Brian Wilson as he'd never have found his way into the back of cab without his carers! Hotboy
How come he looks compos mentis?
How many bands could actually sound as good in a cab as on record?
Perhaps it was the coffee table that brought you down. It got me several times.
Mingin'! That actually sounds alright for the back of a cab. Do you think I should try to get him to record RaBlissSong? Hotboy
