In Reply to: How/why is Brian Wilson a "genius'? posted by Maniac on May 11, 2012 at 18:46:02:
But then you have to find a new word to describe real geniuses like Beethoven and Sibelius.
I'm sure Brian Wilson's unfortunate psychological difficulties help pop-culture observers categorize him as a genius. The popular conception of a genius is often someone with "issues."
