I don't carry a notebook or use a tape player. Writing in a Spin piece marking the tenth anniversary of the exchange, journalist Winston Cook-Wilson (no relation) referred to it as a typical example of Brian's terseness, and jokingly as "one of the most important blog posts in recent American history". Brian had remarked, "It just goes to prove that if you don't hide anything from kids, they'll start doing things they normally wouldn't do until much later. Is this guy crazy, or is he crazy like a fox? "[511] Asked about soul music in 2004, he cited Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder as influences.

[517] As of 2015[update], Wilson maintained that he does not listen to modern music, only "oldies but goodies". [496] The 2003 book Temples of Sound states that Wilson distinguished himself from Spector through the usage of certain instruments, such as banjo, and that Spector's productions "do not possess the clean muscle of Brian's work. [193] Amid the looming financial insolvency of the Beach Boys, he began to supplement his regular use of amphetamines and marijuana with cocaine. [192][190], For the remainder of 1968, Wilson's songwriting output declined substantially, as did his emotional state, leading him to self-medicate with the excessive consumption of food, alcohol, and drugs. [577] Among them, guitarist Jerry Cole said, "we would walk out of Brian's sessions shaking our heads, saying, 'This son of a bitch is either crazy, or he's an absolute genius.' [205] Wilson was an active participant in the year-long sessions, writing more than an album's worth of material by himself or with collaborators, most of which was left off the record. [74][75] The only other record the label issued was Bob & Sheri's "Humpty Dumpty". [118] He recalled that he and Mike Love immediately felt threatened by the Beatles and added that he knew the Beach Boys could never match the excitement created by the Beatles as performers, and that this realization led him to concentrate his efforts on trying to outdo them in the recording studio. [687] In his 2015 book Electric Shock, Peter Doggett identifies Wilson as "the most emblematic artist" of an era when "[s]ome of the most notorious pop battles [were] conducted between idealistic musicians and the businessmen who had to finance their increasingly crazy ideas. [427] It stated that the material might be split into three albums: one of new pop songs, another of mostly instrumental tracks with Beck, and another of interwoven tracks dubbed "the suite" which initially began form as the closing four tracks of That's Why God Made the Radio.

[375] Shortly before the album's release, Wilson suffered the loss of what remained of his immediate family with the deaths of his brother Carl and their mother Audree. "[479] He often cited Spector's Christmas album as his favorite album of all time.[480]. [583] Owing further to Spector's influence, Wilson rarely used ride or crash cymbals in his work[583] and often combined color tones (such as a banjo doubled with a harpsichord) to produce novel sounds. Some kid down the street really whacked him in the ear. [720][721][722] David Marks opined that although Wilson's early records could appear "campy and corny [] [Brian] was dead serious about them all and that's what made them work [] It's hard to believe that anyone could be that naive and honest, but he was.

[680], Wilson is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and significant songwriters of the late 20th century,[681] Writing on the topic of his harmonic ingenuity, musicologist Philip Lambert states that Wilson's "harmonic language [] represents a mastery and expansion of the British-American pop idiom of the 1960s" and that his "range of harmonic imagination represents a distinguished contribution to music in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond, balancing the achievements of his artistic forebears".[682]. [484][nb 45] This collective of studio musicians later became known as the Wrecking Crew. "[709] Parks elaborated that "Wilson made music as accessible as a cartoon and yet rewarded repeated listening as much as Bach", and he too suggested that Wilson's sensibilities overlapped with those espoused by other pop artists of the era, including Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. "[457] As a child, his favorite artists included Roy Rogers, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Henry Mancini, and Rosemary Clooney.

[190] Although it included more contributions from the rest of the group, he actively led the studio sessions, even on the songs that he did not write. [157] Among the album tracks, he later described "Let's Go Away for Awhile" as "the most satisfying piece of music" he had made to date and "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" as an autobiographical song "about a guy who was crying because he thought he was too advanced". Wilson was quoted as saying about the Beach Boys' political affiliations in the 1980s, "Bipartisan means you don't take sides. [] But, I don't like to put undue pressure on him [] because I know he has a lot of issues. [206] Due to his poor reputation in the music industry, the Beach Boys struggled to secure a record contract with another label. [14][12] After the Wilson family purchased a piano for their home, Brian abandoned his accordion and devoted hours to learning his favorite songs on piano. [425] By then, Wilson had renewed his creative partnership with Joe Thomas. [153][nb 11] Wilson said that he spent five months planning an album that would reflect his growing interest in "the making of music for people on a spiritual level".

[723] Writing in 1981, sociomusicologist Simon Frith identified Wilson's withdrawal in 1967, along with Phil Spector's self-imposed retirement in 1966, as the catalysts for the "rock/pop split that has afflicted American music ever since".

[724] Frith added that, while the influence of both these producers was evident in 1967 hit songs by the Electric Prunes, the Turtles, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Tommy James and the Shondells, and the 5th Dimension, the most enduring and successful American pop act was the Monkees, which had been created as "an obvious imitation of the Beatles". The Beach Boys had become a top-rank recording and touring band. Gloria passed away peacefully on July 28, 2022 with the comfort of her family close by. Wilson chose the date because it was Marilyn's birthday, and thus easy to remember for future anniversaries. I eventually learned every song they did.

The name of his home town is Inglewood, California, United States. "[198] Wilson's daughter Wendy remembered, "Where other people might take a run to release some stress, he would go to the piano and write a 5-minute song. [113][114] Al Jardine, who had sat next to Wilson on the plane, later said, "None of us had ever witnessed something like that. [740] In Japan, references to Wilson and his "mad boy genius" legend became a common trope among Shibuya-kei () musicians such as Cornelius,[741] who was heralded by critics as "the Japanese Brian Wilson".

[559], According to Gaines in his 1986 biography of the Beach Boys, Wilson's family and friends had often struggled "to tell how much of his behavior was out of true craziness and how much was Brian's clever faking". In his memoir, Love wrote of an incident in which he had discovered drug paraphernalia in Wilson's hotel room during a tour stop in Texas. [201] As with much of Brian's work in the era, his contributions "ebbed and flowed. That's what made those records so successful. "[182] The underwhelming critical and commercial response to the band's July single "Heroes and Villains" has been cited as another exacerbating factor in Wilson's professional and psychological decline. I could identify with Bob Flanigan's high voice. [584] Among other practices that Wilson copied directly from Spector was recording two echo chambers simultaneously, as well as having standup bass and Fender bass play identical parts. Oh, man. "[589], In Priore's assessment, Wilson reconfigured Spector's Wall of Sound techniques in the pursuit of "audio clarity" and "a more lush, comfortable feel". [391] Recordings from these concerts were released in the form of a second live album, Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds Live (June 2002). [32] Around this time, Wilson auditioned to be the singer of the record to mark the launch of the Original Sound Record Company, "Chapel of Love" (unrelated to the 1964 song), but he was rejected for being too young. Wilson's accolades include numerous industry awards, inductions into multiple music halls of fame, and entries on several "greatest of all time" critics' rankings. [376], Numerous reports from this period suggested that Wilson was being pressured to have a career and exploited by those close to him, including Melinda. [573][576] After 1967, his use of these musicians was considerably reduced. "[735] The critic also notes, "For the artier branches of post-punk, Wilson's pained vulnerability, his uses of offbeat instruments and his intricate harmonies, not to mention the Smile saga itself, became a touchstone", especially for such bands as Pere Ubu, XTC, U2, R.E.M., the Pixies, and My Bloody Valentine. You think it's so easy? [448], Around this time, Wilson had two back surgeries that left him unable to get around without a walker. "[422] Stebbins referred to a "recent interview [in which Brian was asked] what he disliked the most about touring, [and] Brian replied that it was going on stage and performing. "[720][721] In music journalist Barney Hoskyns' description, the "particular appeal of Wilson's genius" can be traced to his "singular naivety" and "ingenuousness", alongside the fact that his band was "the very obverse of hip". As "Surfin'" faded from the charts, Wilson, who had forged a songwriting partnership with local musician Gary Usher, created several new songs, including a car song, "409", that Usher helped them write. After his father's death in June 1973, Wilson secluded himself in the chauffeur's quarters of his home, where he spent his time sleeping, abusing drugs and alcohol, overeating, and exhibiting self-destructive behavior. [224], Wilson was deeply affected by the poor commercial response to Sunflower[225] and resumed having minimal contributions to the Beach Boys' records. [569] He usually instructed Blaine to play only the snare and floor-tom afterbeats used on Spector's records. [386] Later in the year, he embarked on a series of U.S. concert dates that included the first full live performances of Pet Sounds, with Wilson backed by a 55-piece orchestra. He would occasionally visit a session if he had heard a piece of music that he felt should be changed. [307], Wilson entered a period of regression over the subsequent years[288] particularly, after the band's disastrous tour of Australia in 1978 and found ways of obtaining cocaine and barbiturates without the knowledge of his handlers. Although Wilson was listed as the album's producer, Thomas was credited with "recording", while Mike Love was "executive producer". Released in March 1966, the album's first single, "Caroline, No", marked the first record credited to Wilson as a solo artist.

"[560] Wilson often attended Spector's recording sessions, taking notes on the producer's arranging and recording methods (later dubbed the "Wall of Sound"), and adopted the same choice of studios and session musicians as Spector. [398] Encouraged by the positive reception, a studio album adaptation was soon recorded. Early in 1965, a few weeks after Wilson and his wife moved into a new apartment on West Hollywood's Gardner Street, Wilson took the psychedelic drug LSD (or "acid") for the first time, under Schwartz' supervision.

"[553], Other recurring themes in Wilson's songs include feminine objectification,[554][nb 41] youthful innocence,[555][nb 42] slice of life stories or observations,[556][557][nb 43] and health and fitness. The youth zeitgeist of the 1960s is commonly associated with his early songs, and he is regarded as an important figure to many music genres and movements, including the California sound, art pop, psychedelia, chamber pop, progressive music, punk, outsider, and sunshine pop.

"[173] Television producer David Oppenheim, who attended these scenes to film the documentary Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution (1967), characterized Wilson's home as a "playpen of irresponsible people. Money's not the only reason I made records, but it does hold a place in our lives. [109] Wilson resented being identified with surf and car songs, explaining that he had only intended to "produce a sound that teens dig, and that can be applied to any theme. [285] NBC also premiered a Lorne Michaels-produced television special about the band, called simply The Beach Boys, which included recent concert footage, interviews, and a comedy sketch involving Wilson and NBC's Saturday Night cast members Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. To take advantage of their sudden resurgence in popularity, Wilson agreed to join his bandmates in Colorado for the recording of a new album at James William Guercio's Caribou Ranch studio. In the 1980s he formed a controversial creative and business partnership with his psychologist, Eugene Landy, and relaunched his solo career with the album Brian Wilson (1988).
