I was sorry to read that Brian Wison of the beach Boys passed away.
His music was an inspiration to many and I am sure played on the radios of every gearhead since the group began. I know I did. in every car I ever owned.
I knew him briefly in the 1980's both having to do with the music industry (Pyramid Concert promotions) and privately when you ordered a special vehcle that was custom built for him from the ground up. He was very quite spoken and polite. Later just by coincidence he performed in Sacramento Ca for a concert that my brother was promoting concerts and while backstage I saw Brian and said hey you look like Brian Wilson... he looked at me and laughed and said "Ya II get that a lot"!

Condolences to his family and all the fans all over the world Brina you will be missed.

Brain I am sure to you will be singing Good Vibration wherever you are as well my all-time favorite Little Duce Coupe.

Yes another sad day for what I consider the best band ever. I also love the Beetles but the Beach Boys were tops. Only last year we went to a show with a great band that copied the Beach Boys and went out of there on a high. Their songs will ever be preserved in the list of greatest hits ever.

 

On aina surullista kuulla tällaisten ikonien poismenosta. jätti todella syvän jäljen musiikkiin, ja erityisesti -yhtyeen kautta hänen vaikutuksensa ulottui paljon pelkkää popmusiikkia laajemmalle. On helppo ymmärtää, miksi hänen kappaleensa ovat soineet niin monen autoharrastajan taustalla vuosikymmeniä.
