The Beach Boys — The “Help Me Rhonda” Sessions
November 7, 2008
Taskmaster and nightmare show-biz father, Murry Wilson is heard here with The Beach Boys (Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike Love, Al Jardine) in the studio as the band was recording “Help Me Rhonda”. Apparently Murry showed up to the sessions a little inebriated and took over the session. This is a very interesting relic from 1965 and captures Brian and Murry at an apparent crossroad. The Beach Boys would eventually install a fake console for Murry to helm to pacify him and make him feel he was in control. The Beach Boys would get the definitive take a couple of weeks later.

Jon Fishman — What makes a great song?
November 7, 2008
“I heard someone say once that great lyrics make you think thoughts and great music makes you feel feelings, but a great song makes you feel thoughts. With this as my guiding criteria, “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” epitomizes this sentiment. The lyrics encapsulate the concepts of discipline, perseverance, individuality, respect, a positive approach to life, and a reminder not to take it too seriously after all. Better, and in fewer words, than any self-help publication could ever hope to accomplish. This highly concentrated virtual psychovitamin recipe for a successful life is honeycoated in a melody so simple and sweet, most people can only dream of coming up with something like that on their own. To top it off, the whole package is metabolized like water as a small child and ages like a fine wine in your soul until the day you die. Pretty good song.”
