"This is one of the most searingly candid memoirs ever published - the autobiography of the founder and creative genius of the Beach Boys. Forget what you may have heard about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys - this is the real thing. Biran Wilson turned a suburban California garage band into the Beach Boys, who took the world by storm with the uniquely American sound of his songs, including such classics as "Good Vibrations," "California Girls," and "God Only Knows." Brian, Dennis, Carl, Mike, and Al were the boys next door who personified the laid-back, sunny southern California life-style. They were the most popular rock group in the world. But the cheerful image belied what was really going on, and Brian Wilson is in a unique position to tell the whole amazing story as it's never been told before. For the first time, in this long awaited, no-holds-barred autobiography, Wilson describes his twenty -year nightmare of drug addiction, alcoholism, obesity, and mental illness. He spent three years alone in his room. He lost his family. He lost his music. And he nearly lost his life. Only Brian Wilson can tell the truth behind the rumors and myths about his complex, fascinating life, and Wouldn't It Be Nice is filled with shocking revelations about his abuse as a child by his violent father; the bitter infighting among Brian and the Beach Boys, which continues to this day; the death of his beloved brother and drug partner Dennis, who was for a while involved with the infamous Manson family; his love life, which has been unusual, to say the least; the controversies surrounding Dr. Eugene Landy, the therapist he credits with literally saving his life; and how it feels to be the father of two of the stars of Wilson Phillips. Wouldn't It Be Nice will make you laugh; it will also make you cry. Above all, you will be moved by the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time. Wouldn't It Be Nice is the ultimate rock and roll book." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Noli, Suzanne (jacket design); Hanauer, Mark (jacket photograph) (illustrator).…
