The Beach Boys were making music in th 1950s.
He’s needed a guardian most of his life.
He’s had some serious mental breakdowns.
Sad
I was over at his house 6 months ago, I haven’t been able to understand what he says for a few years now, he has been going downhill for quite a while now. pretty sad.
The Beach Boys are still touring.
I’ve seen them in the 70’s, and again a half dozen years ago with Wilson at the Piano.
Probably time to hang it up :)
"Brian, we have a citation here for you sir under Section 936A of the California Catch a Wave Statute. Brian, you’re in violation of Paragraph 12: failing to surf, neglecting to use a state beach for surfing purposes, and otherwise avoiding surfboards, surfing and surf."
Brian has had mental-health issues for decades, and his drug use in ‘60s and ‘70s likely exacerbated that, combined with all the legal meds that his looney-toon psychotherapist Gene Landy pumped into him in the ‘80s.
And yet no one can deny, that despite all his issues, the man was (and probably on some level still is) an incredible genius of musical composition, production and arrangement. Truly in his own category of talent. In the documentary on the “Wrecking Crew” musicians, the late Leon Russell, no slouch himself as a musician, states flat out that Brian was the greatest genius that he ever worked with.

Brian Wilson in action with the Beach Boys, recording “I Can Hear Music”, with Kathy Troccoli singing the lead. Timeless, and there’s no question this is Brian’s band:
