Part 1 - What You Will Learn:

Why David Leaf felt compelled to uproot his life on the East Coast, move to California, and find Brian Wilson to convince him to let him write his autobiography.

Then - How David’s lifelong dream of meeting, befriending and eventually writing Brian Wilson’s biography happened. After dreaming of the moment for decades, then moving across the country, it all happened so suddenly after being invited to a small dinner party.

And there he was…Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys!

About Silo118.com

Silo118 art gallery got its start in 2016 on the ground floor of a historic feeder silo in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. 

The silo was built in the late 1940s to supply flour for the Weber Bread factory which was in business from the late 1940s through the mid-1970s.

After the bread factory shut down, the silo lay empty for decades, until it was refurbished (somewhat) in the early 2000s.

In 2016 Bonnie Rubenstein was given the opportunity to run an art gallery and moved from the east coast.

She called it Silo118 for the obvious reasons - reflecting both the iconic grain silo in the middle of a town and the address on the street where the silo lives.

In 2018 the online version of Silo118 became the sole entity of the gallery until November 2021, when Rubenstein re-opened the brick-and-mortar in the same iconic silo with new and familiar artists and a Kids’ Corner.

My Very Special Guest Today is David Leaf - Here to talk about his book and his friendship with The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson.

About “God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys & the California Myth”

Originally published in 1978 as The Beach Boys and the California Myth, this groundbreaking study was both the first full-length book on the band and the first to recognize Brian Wilson as one of the most significant and influential artists of the 20th century.

Covering the turbulent family strife and internal conflicts as well as giving proper attention to the remarkable music, the book was an instant classic.

An intimate look at Brian’s rollercoaster of a life and career, it’s told through the eyes of those who were there during Wilson’s most legendary productions including Pet Sounds and Good Vibrations.

Revised and updated, God Only Knows covers the decades since the 1985 edition, including Brian’s first acclaimed solo album, his startling return to live performing, the landmark Pet Sounds tour, the All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson (which David Leaf wrote and produced), and the triumphant and miraculous Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE world premiere in London.

Filled with surprising revelations, insight, and behind-the-scenes detail, this indispensable book written by renowned Brian Wilson expert David Leaf also features forewords by the Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb and Melinda Wilson and Paul McCartney.

Trusted by Icons.

He is a consummate storyteller. Whether it’s a screenplay, documentary, television special, book, producing or hosting an event, storytelling is at the heart of David Leaf’s gift. Whatever the subject, he presents it in an engaging, entertaining, and meaningful way so the audience is transported on a journey they’ll never forget.

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”——Michelangelo
