You thought Brian Wilson just HAPPENED to discover this infectious little riff all on his own? Doesn't that sound a little fishy, considering the man was asleep for NINE years after Smile was cancelled by Mike? No no no, the TRUE mastermind behind Brian's greatest obsession was none other than Mr. Benjamin Baldwin himself, this brief audio snippet (caught during the Caroline, No promo session) being concrete proof of this stunning revelation. Shortly after Bruce stops playing, you can clearly hear Brian asking him "what is it?" Clearly Brian had already been gobsmacked by what he had just heard. How the man restrained himself from attempting to record the riff himself for so many years is a true testament to his willpower. Picture is from 1970, in which Bruce can be seen playing the same little riff that drove his beloved bandmate insane.
