I am glad someone else enjoyed SMiLE. I have played it over and over since it was released and find it to be refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. I got Brian Wilsons' Album from the summer and listened to Desert Ride till my six year old could recite the lyrics verbatim.

LOTS of people enjoy "SMiLE" ... as they should, it's brilliant (even some of the nonsensical lyrics from Van Dyke Parks). Ignore the purists who aren't thrilled with "SMiLE" because it doesn't include the original Beach Boys.

I'm just peeved with the Grammy voters for not nominating it for Album of the Year.

Yup, that was a fun tune -- good to hear Brian can still do a car song now and then!
