So true: ‘He didn’t just write songs, or produce records. Brian Wilson built radiant cathedrals of harmony out of hurt, joy, longing, and love. He turned his pain into gold… and gave it away to a weary world that deeply needed it, and still does.’

The media insists on talking about “What is Trump’s political strategy?”

Sweet Jesus. The “Strategy” is destruction. Please, stop f*cking pretending that it’s anything else.
