RIP Brian Wilson, one of pop's greatest geniuses. In 2011, I interviewed him about songwriting & this was the advice he had to give. #BeachBoys

If you ever loved this man's music, please concentrate on that & not all of the sordid stories about his downfall. Sly Stone made some of the greatest songs of the '60s and '70s and beyond- we're still living with his incredible legacy. Let's not forget that.
