Yesterday the sad news arrived that Brian Wilson died at the age of 82. Music lost with Wilson and Sly Stone two fantastic artists in only one week - what a mess. Brian Wilson was the head of the Beach Boys which was famous in the sixties and gave us unforgettable surf songs in the 60's.
As a composer and arranger he was always looking for the perfect pop song and back in time the Beach Boys were competitors with the Beatles. Presumably this competitive pressure led him into drugs and depression, from which he did not emerge for a long time.
His legacy is that he wrote songs with godlike harmonies and songs that are very close to a perfect pop song. No he can sing together with his brothers Dennis and Carl in heaven.
Rest in peace, Brian
