Absolutely devastated by the news that Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson passed away today. When i was a kid the first three cassettes i ever bought were a collection of James Bond theme songs, a pop compilation called "Rock '85," and a greatest hits tape by The Beach Boys. Wilson's music has been a part of my life for as far back as i can remember, and "God Only Knows" might just be the best pop song ever recorded. Here's a quote from Bob Dylan about Wilson:
He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.
Damn right. I'm going to have to listen to some surf vibrations this evening, but i may as well begin with the aforementioned "God Only Knows." RIP Brian Wilson.
