The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson – HuffPost 11.9.11

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Brian Wilson: Well if you’re going to write a song, try to get together with a collaborator because it’s better to write with collaborators.

MR: Is that for the creative process?

BW: Yeah.

MR: Do you feel when you write with somebody, is there a synergy going on?

BW: Yeah, bounce back and forth.

MR: Let’s say you write a song with whomever, and you get into the studio, do you try to keep the vision in your head when you’re recording or does it evolve into something else?

BW: It evolves into something else.
