Random Thoughts the Third

Brian Wilson is underrated?

 

He carried his useless brothers and cousins while dealing with an asshole father. He was singlehandedly writing an album in response to The Beatles.

 

And is consistently heralded as a genius.

I'm not questioning his talent. I'm saying he gets a ton of credit for it.

 

Didn't he get a song named after him?

 

Lying in bed
Like Brian Wilson did

 

Yet isn't thought of the equal of Lennon or McCartney.

 

I watched Willie's 90th birthday, and Kris was there. It almost seemed as he had to be helped because two people (one on either side) always had a hold of him.

God bless Willie Nelson.

 

All props to Brian Wilson, but I've heard stories that Mike Love has always been one of the biggest assholes around.

 

I’ll reach deep into the ‘80s and say Nuno Betencourt is one of the most underrated musicians ever.

Ditto Vito Bratta.

 

Hey @MisterCreosote … @BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo hacked your login.

 

I was playing wiffle ball outside a friend's house and some young guy in a truck was mowing the neighbor's lawn. He started talking to us and played us Extreme's first album. He said in a real creepy way "This song is about eating pussy!" A few years later the band breaks out with that crappy 'More than Words." I could never get over the disconnect.
