The Beach Boys - An American Band / Brian Wilson - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
The Beach Boys: An American Band is a candid look at America's favorite clean cut, candy striped and harmonic family: Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Love and Al Jardine. The surf, the fun, the magic and the sorrow of the legendary Beach Boys all come to life in this expansive film "biography," featuring never before released footage from The Beach Boys own archives, and over 40 original Beach Boys songs in full stereo. Brian Wilson - "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times.": As the undeniable force behind the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson led the group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Through a richly woven tapestry of candid interviews with family, friends peers and Wilson himself, "I just wasn't made for these times" chronicles his remarkable, tumultuous life. Rock luminaries, ranging from the Velvet Underground's John Cale, David Crosby and Graham Nash to Tom Petty and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, all comment on and pay tribute to Wilson's work. Memories from his daughters, Carnie and Wendy (of Wilson Phillips fame), round out an insightful documentary that captures the playfulness, genius and unconquerable spirit of an American pop visionary.
