BRIAN WILSON with BEN GREENMAN
I Am Brian Wilson A Memoir
A memoir by the legendary musical genius of the Beach Boys
“W
hen i think back across my own life, there are so many things that are painful. Sometimes I don’t like discussing
them. Sometimes I don’t even like remembering them. But as I get older, the shape of that pain has changed. Some of those things shaped me. Others scarred me. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference. When I watched my father fly into a rage and take swings at me and my brothers, when we watched him grow frustrated with his day job and take solace in music, was that shaping or scarring? Those are all memories, but I can’t get to them all at once. I’ve had a whole lifetime to take them in. Now I have a whole book to put them out there.” —From I Am Brian Wilson
