Makes you think though. 

I've just put on the telly and the BBC is back to back coverage of the pope's funeral. See Trump is there. I can't help thinking a small tactical nuclear weapon detonated in the Vatican cleaning the slate of these abusive pious hypocrites wouldn't be the worst thing. 

Makes you think.

How ironic that the cardinal doing the Pope's funeral looks like Ian Paisley. 

Half of them look like Ian Paisley. 

Fuck this, I'm out for my morning walk.

It’s like Alzheimer’s this place. Every day I have to be reminded that my heroes have died and relive the grief.

Dementia sufferers will often fall back on often used phrases from before they became ill

If I ever get it, I hope that once I can’t recognise my family and friends I start greeting them with

” who’s this Cunt?”

Brian Wilson being described as literally a genius by people with very good qualifications to be able to make that judgement..lots citing "God only knows" as the greatest song ever written....so it is just me then that doesn't really get Wilson or the Beach Boys? I hear good songs and nice harmonies but I also got that from the Brotherhood of Man :cuppa:

 

RIP Brian, you had the same name as our coalman 🙂

:lol:
Using “God Only Knows” as the example, I think it’s because 

1- He did it first

2- Used/invented studio techniques to get multi-layered harmonies that were groundbreaking, at the time. 
3- wasn’t his cunt cousin, Mike Love. 
 

Like a lot of music from that era, people have become, perhaps not blasé about it, but have heard it so much they’re used to it. 
Everthing that followed it using the same, or improved, techniques probably also now falls into that category, so the uniqueness of his talent has become dulled with time. 
I absolutely love some Beach Boys tracks, unbelievable sound and vibe.

I seem to remember reading that Brian Wilson spent hours listening to Sgt Pepper because it had massively outsold Pet Sounds and he was trying to work out why. If I compare them (and SPLHCB is nowhere near my favourite Beatles album) I like Sgt Pepper a lot more; I like the sort of mixture of psychedelia & old time music hall it has. Pet Sounds figuratively and literally sounds like it comes from a different culture; I think I was an adult when I first listened to it but the Beatles were still fuckin everywhere through my childhood in spite of splitting up around the time I was born... BBs just leave me a bit cold...
