Web Premiere For Dennis Wilson Docu

Dennis Billy Hinsche - the Billy of Dino, Desi & Billy for all of you 16 magazine readers in the 1960s - has produced and directed a documentary on the late Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson that will premiere Nov. 5 on Flasher.com.
"Dennis Wilson Forever," which is 80 minutes long, will be show in sections over the two weeks following Nov. 5. If Brian were the brains of the band, Dennis was the spirit - the one surfer in the group, the one who beleieved they should not fade into an oldies act in the 70s and the one who made a fabulous solo album. Of course, there's also that Manson connection and the fact that his mother forced Brian to include him in the band that have clouded his reputation. His legend has only grown since his death 25 years ago. I always thought it was cool that one of the best records of the 1980s, the Del Lords' "Frontier Days," was dedicated to his memory.
Hinsche is selling copies of the doc on DVD on his website.
