Brian Wilson on his music, biopic & 'genius'
The Beach Boys' mastermind and veteran solo artist discusses his new album, upcoming feature bio-film and more.

Movie trailer and interview that includes a quote by Glen regarding Brian's genius as a musician and songwriter:

“Brian was a genius,” agrees fellow Wrecking Crew member Glen Campbell, who also played on “Pet Sounds” and toured in Wilson’s place with the Beach Boys. “He was as good at putting things together (musically) as anyone I’ve ever seen.”

Planning a trip to "True Grit country"? You might want to visit the True Grit Café in Ridgway, Colorado, USA!

"The True Grit Café was built to honor the filming of the academy award winning movie 'True Grit' starring John Wayne. Come sit on the deck and look out at the beautiful background you'll see throughout the movie. Oh, and you'll see a lot of pictures of the great star's film legacy all around."

This might be a film to watch for....Glen had many ties with the great Billy Mize:

'Billy Mize and the Bakersfield Sound' -- Loving tribute to the silky-voiced country singer and songwriter (review): Cleveland International Film Festival 2015

Wasn't Billy Mize the host of "Melody Ranch", a late sixties American television show on which Glen performed several times?
