Happy Birthday Wishes



Brian Douglas Wilson,


Happy Birthday! If you were given the royal treatment by the United States the way your friend Paul McCartney has been given by the United Kingdom, you most certainly would be SIR Brian Wilson. You may become a Sir in merry ole England one of these days, anyway, the way the British press and public has viewed you the past 40 years. In fact...I encourage any of the citizens of the U.K. to lobby Parliament and the Royal Family to give you an honourary title.


I hope your birthday is spent with your family and friends exactly the way you would prefer --- without us media types (paparazzi, etc.) getting too involved in your personal life. Even if it is just for your birthday.


Thank you for "God Only Knows" and "Time To Get Alone" and the dozens of other great songs you've penned.


I look forward to the September 2008 release on Capitol Records label of your new CD/DVD-CD/Digital/Vinyl (yes, it's coming out in limited vinyl, you record-lovers) "That Old Lucky Sun".
