The original Bee Gees. Great harmoizing group. My old friend in Inwood/Heights used to shake his head when he saw songs on my old iPod

RIP

Shocked he made it this long. The John Cusack biopic about him showed he was zooted for decades (70s-90s). His daughter sang Hold On

Rest in peace to Brain Wilson. A man who truly lived out his greatness, a legend and someone who's art had mass influence.

In my room is such an introspective and vulnerable song. One that most everyone can relate to.

He also went through a slump, kept going and made it through the other side.

There's genius, mental health issues, and incredible melodies behind this all.

He influenced The Beatles. The Beach Boys were about dream summers in California that many people aspired to, and made happen

Rest in peace.

Hes one of those people that lived longer than I think people would have expected. His demons basically destroyed him.

One of the best white musicians America ever produced. Beach boys weren't blatantly trying to copy black music to get on.

It’s wild how they were California beach rock but you couldnt look at the audience for a Beach Boys concert without thinking “that’s an audience full of people very familiar with saying the hard ER.
That's every concert nowadays. :manny:
