"Wouldn't it be nice" if you knew how to protect yourself and your family in the event of disability? Michael B. Cohen goes over how Brian Wilson's estate planning was a mixed bag.

Play Brian Wilson's Estate Planning Erroneously Gave Him "Good Vibrations"

Warmth Of The Sun (Beach Boys instrumental cover)

Days after Brian Wilson passed away - and on his birthday - his biographer and good friend David Leaf returned for part one of a special two-part episode. David shares his recollections of Brian's challenging recent years. It's group therapy for David and hosts Mark and Phil, as they discuss how Brian made the world a better place, stepping out of The Beatles' shadow, did the obits really "get" Brian, more insight into why SMiLE was shelved, and they ask, "Did Brian's ambitions really die with SMiLE?" Of course, we also talk to David about his great new book on the saga of that legendary album.

I'll Bet He's Nice

Recently, while driving to LAX to pick up my wife, I heard Love Can Make You Happy by Mercy on the radio. While listening, I imagined my wife in her seat looking out the window, and as Mercy vamped out the ending of their song, this song wrote itself as I eagerly dictated the lyrics into my phone. I've always wanted to write a song about Los Angeles, and some might say that that is all I do, but this is the one I'll stand by. Preferably, at the corner of Rosecrans and Vermont. Where the kids are hip.

Part two of our chat with Brian biographer and friend David Leaf - whose latest book is SMiLE: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Brian Wilson - recorded days after Brian's passing. Here we ask, was it right for The Beach Boys to include out-of-context Smile tracks on albums after the project collapsed, and play them live? David elaborates on his role on the group's 1990s box sets - and the reasons for their delays. We measure Beach Boys fans vs. Brianistas and bemoan the Disney documentary. David recalls the last song Brian requested on David's final visit - you'd be surprised what it is! Have a listen to hear stories the estimable Mr. Leaf has not shared anywhere else.
