Behind Brian Wilson’s Rebirth: David Leaf on Live at the Roxy and Beyond interview on The Hang!
In this emotional and deeply revealing episode of The Hang! on Almost Famous Magazine, host Scott Saldinger sits down with David Leaf — Peabody and WGAW award-winning writer, director, producer, and author — for a conversation that bridges journalism, music history, and personal faith in creativity. Known for The U.S. vs. John Lennon, Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of SMiLE, and The Night James Brown Saved Boston, David Leaf has spent decades chronicling the artistic journeys of music’s most enigmatic legends.
David shares the remarkable story of how a chance meeting with Dennis Wilson shortly after moving to California changed his life forever, inspiring him to write The Beach Boys and the California Myth, and eventually form a lifelong friendship with Brian Wilson himself. Through riveting storytelling, Leaf recalls the defining moments that shaped his career — from discovering the Beach Boys’ Surf’s Up album in a record store to becoming one of the few people who truly witnessed Brian Wilson’s creative resurrection.
