In Reply to: RE: I have NEVER thought that Brian was a genius. posted by Timbo in Oz on May 16, 2012 at 17:34:06
... he was closely related to that thing. There is a package full of things - all of them related to music making - that the modern pop star must show ingenuity for. Some of the things included in this "package" are sensitivity to modern fashion or sentiment, musicianship, the (tireless) innovative spirit, marketing ability, stamina. In other words, Brian Wilson displayed his "genius" for the making, packaging, and delivery of pop music. Something like a modern Paganini.

Funny, I think of it as being precisely the opposite. The Beach Boys' music is uncool to the point of dorkiness. It succeeded mostly because of Wilson's outsized talent.
Well, I only implied that Brian Wilson was ingenious and successful in some ways. He was very good at framing the aesthetics of a certain time and place during the 1960's. "Coolness Factor"? That's another issue entirely. We are all dorks in certain ways, I'm sure...

Very much so. :-)
Thanks for the positive affirmation... I think.
