ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” might be the Citizen Kane of pop albums. But what happened with the aborted follow-up, “Smile”?


How and why did the project go off the rails and get shelved...only to grow in reputation over the decades and fuel the “Brian Wilson is a Genius” flame?

 

Well, the rest of us may not be geniuses, but we can all relate to family pressures,professional expectations, and even personal demons.

 

All are hot topics our guest — author David Leaf -- serves up in fine form in his latest book, “SMILE: The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson.” David brings personal insight from decades as Brian’s friend and preeminent biographer, including a firsthand account of that fabled project’s nail-biting path to completion in the early 2000s.
