I know, I know, this is sort of cliche, but I have a kind of different spin to put on an old question. Everyone knows Murry Wilson was a manipulative so-and-so (much like his idol old Joe Kennedy), and pretty well forced his sons into politics. What most people don't realized is that the old man actually was a pretty gifted musician in his earlier years, although he met very little success.

So my question is this, suppose that rather than endeavoring to make Brian, Dennis and Carl into the Republican equivalent of the Kennedy brothers, Murry decides to educate them in music and pours himself into a Wilson Brothers Band?

What would politics look like today without the New First Family, and what sort of contributions would you like to see the WBB make to the world of popular music?
