• David Leaf, Author of SMiLE - The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson

  This show is dedicated in loving memory to Brian Wilson  June 20, 1942 – June 11, 2025 THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring David Leaf, Author of SMiLE - The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson David Leaf is an award-winning writer, director, and producer.  He is also a professor at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music in Los Angeles, where, since 2010, he has been teaching courses in rock documentary, songwriting, and the Beatles. He published the seminal work The Beach Boys and the California Myth in 1978, which was recently updated and reissued as God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and the California Myth.  Through the writing of the biography, David developed a deep friendship with Brian Wilson. Smile - The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson is the story of Brian Wilson's legendary SMiLE album. The story of SMiLE is a story unlike any other, perfect for music that was - and still is revolutionary. This is the first book to tell the full story of Brian Wilson and SMiLE, including the details of the original SMiLE recording sessions, their increasingly legendary status, and the final release of the album, as well as the accompanying concerts, film, and its afterlife. With over two dozen new interviews and generous excerpts from his extensive 2004 interviews with Brian Wilson, this book recounts the story of SMiLE through the perspectives of those who were present in 1966 and those involved in its 2004 revival, including all members of Brian Wilson’s band.  This book, featuring a foreword by Melinda Wilson and an anthology of essays from SMiLE historians, devotees, and music professors, is the definitive resource on the subject.

I love him." —Sir Paul McCartney “If I had to select one living genius of popular music, I would choose Brian Wilson.” - Sir George Martin "The only real pop genius in the world..." —Sir Elton John Pick up a copy of Smile - The Rise, Fall & Resurrection of Brian Wilson On Amazon  https://www.leafprod.com/ - - - THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories  POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
