An excerpt from an interview Playboy did with Beach Boy's Brian Wilson in 2005.

Brian Wilson in the 70s with his nemesis, a surfboard.

.....

PLAYBOY: Before "Smile" came out last fall it was referred to as the greatest album never released. How do you think it would have sold had you released it in 1967?

WILSON: It would have influenced people in the business to want to make better music, but it wouldn't have sold at all. It would have been too ahead of it's time.

PLAYBOY: Is it true you once took a crap on your father's dinner plate?

WILSON: My brothers and I cooked it up. Dennis said, "Why don't you sh!t on a plate and put it on Dad's table?" So I did. My dad came out going, "What the hell is this?" Then -- boom! boom! -- he beat me up. It was worth it. That was the funnest joke I ever played on anybody.

PLAYBOY: What's something we don't know about your days as a Beach Boy?

WILSON: I don't like the beach. And I never will never, ever try surfing. I'm too afraid I'll get hit in the head with the surfboard.
