Brian Wilson: We were about halfway through the album when I decided to tell the guys that I wasn't going to perform on stage any more and that I can't travel. I wanted to sit at the piano and write songs while they were out touring.
The night when I gave them the news of my decision they all broke down. I'd already gone through my breakdowns and now it was their turn. When I told them, they were all sitting on chairs and they were in shock.
Mike had a couple of tears in his eyes … Dennis picked up a big ashtray and told some people to get out of there or he'd hit them on the head with it … Al Jardine broke out in tears and stomach cramps … Carl was the only one who never got into a bad emotional scene … He always kept a cool head. If it weren't for Carl it's hard to say where we'd be. He's the greatest stabilising influence in the group.
