He and Sly were the same age. The two greatest pop "composers" of their era (in my estimation), gone within a few days of each other. Thanks, guys--we were so lucky to experience it.
The radio news reader who informed me of his sad passing was named Brian Wilson!
I adored the surf’s-up and hot-rod songs as a child and teenager. Later in life I got an incredible second-wind with their more subtle songs and also their more complex songs.
Vale Brian Wilson and thanks for the fun times and also for the heartbreakingly beautiful introspection.
