The request for the conservatorship comes after Wilson's wife of 28 years died last month.
Wilson, along with his two brothers, their cousin, and a school friend, founded The Beach Boys in 1961, creating hits like "Surfin' USA" and "I Get Around."

I've seen the Beach Boys in concert over 12 times; a sad ending for a great band.
Brian Wilson's family seeks conservatorship for The Beach Boys star.
Wilson, 81, is suffering from a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia and is unable to provide for his own personal needs, his family said in a court filing.

The news comes after reports that antitrust regulators will scrutinize plans by Warner Bros. Discovery, Fox, and Disney’s ESPN to team up on a new sports streaming service. And it’s worth noting that Paramount is exploring all kinds of strategic moves lately, as it’s searching for someone to buy it.

THEY MONOPOLIZE BECAUSE WE ALLOW IT...
Paramount+ and Peacock discussed a tie-up. In the latest sign that the streaming services we all cut the cord for seem determined to bundle themselves back into cable, the Wall Street Journal reports that Paramount and Comcast have recently discussed combining their streamers.

ON this date in 1965 - Comedienne Joan Rivers made her first guest appearances on " The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson" on NBC-TV.
The Boyz recently saw re-runs of this show and were astonished that Joan's face actually moved as they haven't seen her lips, or any other parts of her face move for years.
Bun Man said to Mr. Purple "I actually thought she was related to 'The Joker'"; but Purple said "No, they just used the same bad plastic surgeon way too many times."
THE BOYZ GOT JADED
ON this date in 1989 - David Coverdale (Whitesnake) and Tawny Kitaen were married.
A mere 5 years after Bachelor Party, Tawny had sunk to this...
Bun Man and Mr. Purple are beside me now, shedding a tear for her and remembering all the other 80s over-exposed femmes like Sheila E; Debbie Gibson; Sheena Whatever, etc.
Bun just looked up and said "But Tawny was hot once..." and Mr P replied "Aren't they all, aren't they all..."
I HATE TO SEE THE BOYZ GET SO JADED.
Apparently, it didn't sit well w/ Burr as 3 years later, this led to his infamous duel w/ Alexander Hamilton who would die from Aaron's bullet.
That bullet ended Burr's political career as well.
Oh yeah, Burr was the US Vice-President when the duel occurred.

ON this date in 1801 - The U.S. House of Representatives broke an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
Jefferson was elected president and Burr became vice president.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, aides to TJ, laughed hysterically at the outcome.

Bun countered "Well, whenever those PA drivers come down here to God's country at the Seaside, they forget all they were taught in driver's ed..."
Mr. Purple chimed in "Yea, and you can throw in NY and NJ too; guess they don't remember JACK about driver etiquette in those states either..."

WATCHING OUT FOR THE TOURONS
ON this date in 1934 - The first high school automobile driver’s education course was introduced in State College, PA.
With the Boyz here reading this, Bun Man turns to me and says "Damn, that course had the same effect as teaching students some of these world-class standards..."
I replied "Whatever do you mean?"

As they're driving home, they're really depressed.
One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?"
The other guy says, "Wow! Then it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"

HUMOR MEDICINE
The Miseducation of the USA...
Fish cost a fortune!!
Two men go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment - the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.

We NEVER put Soldiers in harm's way w/out appropriate force protection, NOT so w/ America's schoolchildren...
Jen Rubin wrote this in 2018...
In the time passed, we have found this to be purposeful and supported by the US GOP.
Perhaps the Undude's most egregious act to date..."The president’s failure to take action to protect the U.S. election system and prevent another assault on our democracy — a real and ongoing concern voiced by the unanimous testimony of his top intelligence officials — appears to be a gross dereliction of Trump’s duties and an abrogation of his oath."

IT AIN'T PRETTY WHEN THE PUPS AND I ARE LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVICES
Ken-Dogger: C'mon Butkus, we didn't party that hard...
Butkus: Speak for yourself Dude...
KD: The Mikster's only been gone 1 day, where's your hangin' stamina?
B: Dude, I am hangin'...ya can't see that bar I'm holding onto?
KD: Nope, can't say I can.
B: Well, it's there and I'm holdin' on by a sliver, but I'm losing...
KD: Thankfully, it's a short fall for ya...
B: Tell the Mikster to come home, I can't hang...
