I grew up in Hawthorne, on the same street as the Wilsons. I didn't realize it until ten years after I moved away.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle played on the same little league baseball team as Dennis Wilson. He said he was a hell of an athlete but a very spacy kid...
And a spacy adult and an underrated musician!
