Wrapped in a churro, read what Mojo says about Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, Dennis Wilson and POB!

I say that because the clipping I received from my buddy Nicko in CR (scratch and sniff below) from Mojo smelled like those Mexican desserts - churros. It was either the bubble mailer the CDs he burned for me came in or the Verbatim CDRs.

In December, I blogged about Rolling Stone's Reissue of the Year for 2008 went to Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue (POB). Dennis - co-founder and drummer of The Beach Boys who passed away in 1983 - originally released POB as his first solo album in 1977 to wide critical acclaim, proving Dennis was more than a boozer, womanizer, partier and surfer-dude-drummer.

The interview above from Mojo is with Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters. Hawkins had a big hand in finishing Dennis' Holy Man, a tune meant to be on Wilson's second solo album, Bambu, but was left unfinished (as was Bambu). Here's what Taylor Hawkins had to say about Dennis and POB.

Incidentally, here's some of the other reissues that made the RS list: #2 Bob Dylan's Tell Tale Signs, #7 Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear #11 Little Willie John's Nineteen Sixty Six, #13 Willie Nelson's One Hell of A Ride, and #16 Gene Vincent's Million Shades of Blue.

:) - just can't keep those Beach Boys down, can ya?
