He was the personification of the tortured artist. And a musical genius.

Now he can compose Teenage Symphonies to God directly to the source.

The next few years is going to be like the killing fields for my childhood.

One of the great ones from my childhood, and since then.

Mr Wilson founded the Beach Boys with his two brothers, a cousin and a friend.

So much excellent music, which reflected the close bond of the founders.

Thank-you for the great music.


R.I.P. Brian Douglas Wilson.
