Smile, Smiley
June 12, 2025
Just one day after we lost the trailblazing powerhouse known
as Sly Stone, another hugely influential giant of music left us, also at the
age of 82. The shy, often reclusive unstable genius* behind the Beach Boys,
Brian Wilson passed away. No less than Elton John and Paul McCartney have
heaped praise and described Wilson as an inspiration for their own great works.
The Beach Boys – Vegetables
The Beach Boys – Heroes and Villains

*It’s okay to be an unstable
genius unless you are also a greedy, vengeful, hate-filled, power-mad sociopath.
All the while claiming to be “a very stable genius”. Brian Wilson was none of that.
I. Mangrey, sadly reporting. For the record, my favorite
vegetable is pizza.
