This dude is the herpes of music. Once you think it's gone, it comes back.

Psy even reacted to it.

Oh yeah I know the Psy thing, trying to find the Brian Wilson thing. I think with the old GD Instagram thread not viewable on here I won't though as it's not notable enough to have news articles or Reddit threads

What I remember is, there wasn’t a reason for it. Brian had helped someone I know in rehab during the Landy years and was very respected by someone I’m very close to, and had been in our paper. I think it was even that day BJA posted the same picture with “you’re fucking nuts” which became a huge topic of conversation and subsequently killed the trilogy roll out for me.
wasn’t a weird picture or article, and if I had a 12/13 year old screenshot of it, I’d certainly post it here. Still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and was completely uncalled for. Cool Billie posted the cover I guess but man that dude bugs me as a person routinely.

There must have been some reason though even if it wasn't justified. Like in what way was he nuts? That's what I'm confused by. But if it was trilogy time he was going through stuff so who knows.

Only thing I remember of Brian around the trilogy time was it was around the same time Brian reunited with The Beach Boys to do that tour and album and Brian was still insulting Beach Boys on twitter but Brian’s always made it known he only does Beach Boys stuff when the money is needed so nothing “fucking nuts” on that front edit people are also allowed to change their opinions and stances on people look at the song Platypus about that magazine editor Tim whatever his last name is that is a hate filled song but Billie has said some nice words about him a few years ago
