Good Vibrations
Capitol, under Universal. The craft is the moral. The feeling is simpler than the work.
Capitol released it. Universal holds Capitol. Wilson spent a fortune and a nervous system on three and a half minutes about a girl and a feeling. The excess was in the work, not in the moral.
Admire the work. Do not confuse a vibration with a vow.
