It is highly ironic that the only Wilson brother still alive is Brian.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Brian has been blessed. His brother Dennis, however, was probably worse off than Brian at the time of his death. The book "Heroes and Villians" goes into detail on the last month of Dennis's life, and he was a hopeless alcoholic/heroin addicted wreck. He was homeless and completely unable to keep money in his pocket. It is terribly sad. He had been reduced to a driving need to fulfill his physical passions, and that is pretty much it.

Although incidentally, Dennis may have been the most musically-inclined member of the group aside from Brian. He did a solo album in 1977 called that got rave reviews, though I don't think it sold overwhelmingly. Some consider it a minor classic. You can hear it ont he internet, as I don't think it's available on the market anymore.
