  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    wouldn’t it be nice by lewis shiner hat if? It’s not just science fiction and fantasy that asks this w question, it’s all of fiction. What if a young student murdered his landlady to prove his moral superiority? What if a woman survived the Civil War and three marriages only to find true love too late? It’s also the question by which we transform ourselves. What if I quit my job and moved to the desert? What if I turned myself loose to create “a teenage symphony to God?” The Icarus who attempted that teenage symphony in 1966 is now 53. For Brian Wilson it’s been thirty years of struggle: with drugs and diet, with people who want to run his life for him, with the intensity of his own feelings. The good news is that Wilson’s life is finally his own again. He is newly married to a woman named Melinda, who is calm and sweet and loving with him. He has a new house in the safety of a gated community high above the city. And he is back in the public eye with two new albums and a movie on the Disney channel. The film is I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times, directed by producer-of-the- moment Don Was. The soundtrack is a kind of Best of Brian Wilson, live in the studio with crack session players like Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Waddy Wachtel. This is not only a wonderful album in its own right, it represents a healing of other wounds.

  • Love and Mercy September 27 & 28, 2015
    ciné SARNIA presents Love and Mercy September 27 & 28, 2015 Please check our web site at www.cinesarnia.com for upcoming films and other information Director: Bill Pohlad Cast:: John Cusack, Paul Dano, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Giamatti Year: 2013 Runtime: 120 minute Country: USA Language: English Upcoming Films Oct. 18 & 19 : Phoenix Nov. 8 & 9: A Brilliant Young Mind Nov. 22 & 23: Infinitely Polar Bear Dec 6 & 7: Learning to Drive Love and Mercy You have to love a biopic that shakes things up. Just like Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys innovator whose gifts as singer, songwriter and producer were based on experimentation. Instead of one actor to portray Wilson, sidelined by drugs and mental illness, director Bill Pohlad gives us two, both superb in different ways. Paul Dano, who put on pounds to further the moon-faced likeness, plays Wilson during the 1960s, at the height of his artistic creativity. John Cusack, who looks distractingly unlike Wilson, plays the shaken genius during the 1980s, when he barely emerged from the pill-induced haze created by therapist Eugene Landy (a full-tilt Paul Giamatti). His rescuer is Cadillac saleswoman Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks), who became his second wife. Does Ledbetter's consulting credit skew the film dramatically? Maybe. But the whip-smart script, by Oren Moverman and Michael Alan Lerner, neatly sidesteps cliché. So does Dino Jonsater's editing, which shuns the linear to skip between time periods until juxtaposition yields clarity. Musically, the film is a miracle, right and riveting in every detail. Just watch Wilson in the studio, coaxing musicians on "Good Vibrations" and Pet Sounds , which uses whistles, bicycle bells and barking dogs to approach what Wilson hears in his head.

  • OLLI Winter Session, 2018 Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-Title: "The Mount Olympus of American Pop-Rock Songwriters"
    OLLI Winter session, 2018 Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-title: "The Mount Olympus of American pop-rock songwriters" Course description and bio: The essence of popular music is the song; whether it is folk, pop, rock, rhythm and blues or country, the song is the core of the popular record. This course examines the lives and work of six great songwriters/artists of the golden era of rock and roll. We will study the contributions of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, the team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Brian Wilson, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. Class description: The course will be broken up chronologically, focusing on one songwriter each week. Each session will include: --A thorough, background lecture about each composer, including the musical style most associated with them and stories, sometimes primary source. --A slide show with photographs, charts, maps and information on each composer. --In depth analysis of select lyrics from songs by each songwriter --Audio high-quality CD versions of songs --High quality DVD film clips and/or select youtube clips, of each songwriter or others artists performing that songwriter’s material. --A live music component, where the instructor will demonstrate on piano and guitar melodic and arrangement aspects of the songs that will help illustrate the writing style unique to each composer. The instructor will perform--often with special guests----songs by each composer. COURSE OUTLINE Week 1: Chuck Berry. He was rock & roll's first singer-songwriter, and the music's first guitar hero, as well. "If you gave rock & roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry." (John Lennon) “His songs were concise and mythic, celebrating uniquely American freedoms or protesting their denial.” (Rolling Stone) Week 2: Buddy Holly.
