What
a very touching appearance by Brian Wilson on The Larry King Show last night:
KING: When you say you heard voices can you describe what that's like? Because we read stories like that about people who -- what happens?
B. WILSON: Well, a voice is saying: "I'm going to hurt you, I'm going to kill you." And I'd say: "Please don't kill me."
KING: It's an actual voice.
B. WILSON: Actual voice in my head. Yes.
KING: Not your voice?
B. WILSON: No. No.
[Brian's wife Melinda] WILSON: That's called auditory hallucinations and if somebody's depression is deep enough that's what happens to them.
KING: And at the same time you're still writing songs?
B. WILSON: Yes, I could still write songs, yes, during that period.
KING: [Write] hit songs.
B. WILSON: Yes.
M. WILSON: That's the thing that's amazing. Right now when he goes out on tour I can look at him and I say to myself: "Oh my God, I can tell just by his face he's hearing voices."
KING: You still hear them.
B. WILSON: Oh yes. I still hear them. ...
KING: Do they ever tell you to do things?
B. WILSON: No.
KING: Just, "I'm going to kill you," or...
B. WILSON: Yeah, right.
KING: That's all they -- it ever says?
B. WILSON: Yeah.
A moment later he contradicts himself and says that sometimes the voices say nice things like "We love you, we love you, we can't do without you." He says several times that he doesn't hear the voices when he is singing and that he can work despite his illness. He says that he doesn't listen to the old Beach Boys records.
B. WILSON: No, we don't wallow in the mire over the Beach Boys. I used to listen to Andy Williams and Kenny Rogers and stuff like that. Perry Como and Nat King Cole, of course, that was our song, "When I Fall in Love" was our song. "When I fall in love, it will be forever" -- you know, that song.
KING: "Or I'll never fall in love/In a restless world like this is ...
B. WILSON: Yeah.
KING: I know that.
B. WILSON: Yeah, it's a beautiful tune.
KING: You're a beautiful guy.
