LOVE&MERCY on GOOGLEPLAY and NOWHERE else. HAPPILY paid $20 for the privilege to screen this first run, not even in theaters 8/25/15. Between BEACH BOYS/BRIAN WILSON fanatics like myself and say, MUSIC fanatics (ANY type fanatics), there is a difference. And STILL, money was put up (4TH BIO- PIC ON THIS SUBJECT BTW) for ALL to know this epic, American saga; And to enjoy it in as full and as imaginative a production as can be PRAYED for-To KNOW what happened.
