I remember really digging the Beach Boys albums when I was a lad. The sound quality was incredibly good and the songwriting was impeccable. I have fond memories later on in college of singing and playing Sloop John B with my buds. That was well before I ever realized Pet Sounds was considered Proto-Prog. RIP Brian Wilson.

In three days we lost two of music's greatest legends. Yikes. I'm gonna be spending the rest of the week wondering who's going next. Sly Stone is the very spirit of funk in mortal form, and Brian Wilson was as innovative in pop as Paul McCartney.

This one hits a bit. I saw the original Bad Company at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles probably around 1999-2000. Also admired the guitar work he did with Mott. I think we will be seeing a lot of our favorite rock and rollers passing, in there 80s now. Just the way it’s gonna be for a while. RIP |
