Thirty-four years later, I still talk, probably way too often, about the hour I spent with one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson, at the Crescent for the Dallas Times Herald.

"Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me. He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I’m Bob Dylan.'"

If you have some time today, go down the rabbit hole and learn about the making of “Good Vibrations.” Learn about the Wrecking Crew, learn about tape splicing, learn about how crazy Brian drove the rest of the band trying to create the perfect song. And then listen to the perfect song.

20 years ago we used to do a T-shirt that just said “God Bless Brian Wilson” in the Pet Sounds font and one day we got an email from Brian’s guitar player asking to buy them for the band. Obviously we just sent them to him. He sent us back a lovely letter and this. Treasure.

I have to give the nod of approval to this one notwithstanding Jim Reeves' splendid original version of the song plus the equally splendid one from Solomon Burke
