RIP Brian Wilson
Our tribute episode to Brian Wilson, the leader of the Beach Boys, who died on June 11, 2025. We talk briefly , in our usual "mostly informed" way, about the relationship and influence between the Beatles and the Beach Boys. We talk in general about the incredibly transformation the Beach Boys' music went through over time. We talk about Brian's mental health struggles. And then we take turns sharing a bunch of great Beach Boys songs! The music sharing starts at around 25 minutes in. CORRECTION: For some reason we (I?) keep saying the Brian Wilson biopic/ song is called "Love and Fear" but the correct title is "Love and Mercy." ---------- Our bonus episode this month (coming a few days after this one) for subscribers is a thought experiment in which we pitch what artists it would have been especially fun to see collaborate with either the Beatles or any of them in their solo careers. -------- Send us your thoughts at beatles@screwitpodcasts.com You can also join our free Discord channel at screwitpodcasts.com
