He was 82. It's fair to say... he touched ALL our lives.

Yes! As a kid I couldn't quite appreciate the genius of Brian Wilson. Years later, of course, I understood. Brian was an amazing musician that help to shape the latter part of the 20th century. Countless people within the music industry have been influenced by his work. We were lucky to have him for 82 years.

@geoff-jowett Very nice.... I was reminded that Brian was the last surviving member among the three brothers of the original band.

Yes sir, most everyone's I suspect. Crazy as it seems, it was only about 8 years ago or so, that I realized "Don't worry Baby" (everything will be alright ) was about a drag race! 😬 😬 😬
