Very sad. A true genius.

Oh man, another great dies this week, also at 82. Very sad indeed. And yes, a musical genius. No-one like him, that's for sure.

RIP Brian.

Rough week for sure.

A brilliant pop artist who also faced great difficulties in life. RIP Brian.

The BBC did this in 2014, brilliant and poignant.

An American treasure.

If you haven't seen it, now would be a good time to watch the movie about him,

I'll never forget being 21 yrs old at an indian casino in the inland empire in California circa 2001, hearing the beach boys over the speakers while figuring out if slots were a good idea. I turn to the right, 2 big doors open and inside is a sea of white hair and The Beach Boys performing live. Took my breath away. Saw them again at Universal Studios, they never lost a step, just incredible talent.

82 is not particularly v v old, read somewhere he was addicted to cocaine which surprised me.
