Northtexas12Brian Wilson disavows Beach Boys performance at trophy hunting convention
https://www.latimes.com/entert...YecPxSGrjzzvPoCxzQwMToo bad, I liked his earlier music before his mental breakdown. No longer a fan.

Problem is however...99% chance that these days if you are an entertainer...you are anti-gun and anti-hunting.
The days of John Wayne and Bob Wills are gone for good...sadly.

zebrazapperI’ve long theorized that the soundtrack in Hell is The Beach Boys on a loop, no loss here.

4WDMr. Wilson the talent that he is has not been able to manage his own life let alone make decisions for me or conservation. Mr. Wilson acknowledges that he suffers mental illness from his many LSD trips and heroin self medication. Again Hollywood trying to influence the real world.

Michael RobinsonHe is a pathetic human being. Not just on this, but on many other levels. I have nothing but pity for him.

wrenchmasterWhile I do like their music, the Beach Boys are just entertainers, nothing more, nothing less. They are paid to entertain people, not preach to them. People like Brian Wilson need to get over themselves; they just aren't that important.

Something to remember when you go off on an endless rant about Mark. I will bring up your words next time you have one of your jihadist MS moments. "Live and let live" and "complaining about others."

I would never had said a word about him, if he kept his big mouth shut from insulting all other professional hunters.
Nothing to be proud of being led by a multi bankrupt criminal and a draft dodging coward to boot!

That is what we have all been wondering about too.
Some of the posters on this forum might give you a perfect example.

Not sure where to start with a comment like that. Understand that music theory is essentially a high-level math, and the best musicians (the geniuses) use that math to create sounds that affect the human soul on a level that differential calculus can’t quite do.
Einstein didn’t actually create anything, he found a way to quantify that which was previously unknown.
They can both be geniuses.

Actually, you’re almost correct but a touch off the mark. You meant to say...
It is now the western world LIBERALS obsession to tell others how they should live.

I agree Baxter.
Having now delved into music theory in my 50's, I'm amazed at the level of depth the topic encompasses. The geniuses are the ones who manipulate theory to produce new progressions and melodies that don't fit traditional models, thereby opening new avenues for those who follow to explore. They can also be those who redefine how an instrument is utilized. Hendrix would be an example of the latter.
Are there weirdo's who make up songs, even great songs, without knowing music theory? You bet.
There are others who possess a deep level of understanding of music theory and purposefully bend the "rules" to break new ground. I consider them geniuses.

You guys sure know allot of fancy words so you must be much smarter than I am but even with my limited intellect I don’t see how you can put Brian Wilson, Kurt Cobain, lil Wayne, and Albert Einstein in the same sentence.
Yea and you could hear the complex Math when Chuck Berry sings, “My Dingaling”
Move over Leonardo Da Vinci, theres Pure genius at work
06 February 2020, 22:52
BaxterBEh, Bach, Mozart, Paganini, Liszt...ever heard of those guys??
Just because someone is a musician (or mathematician) doesn’t make them a genius. We are talking about people in both who are outside the spectrum of normalcy.

Yes my friend absolutely on the names above but to call a guy like Brian Wilson a “Genius” is ridiculous.
The words Genius and Hero should be used sparingly and when appropriate

MacD37Well gentlemen, I don't think anyone here has the answer to why the last 100 years has produced so many people that think they are the only one whose opinion matters!
The world was not made for only one type of person, so if they differ in opinion that is no excuse to belittle them simply because another has a different opinion on the same issue.
Opinions are like A-holes everybody has one and they all are for the displacement of excrement, nothing more!
This thread has proven that!
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at a tempting moment.
I think we have all lost that truth to some extent today!

Tim FerrallI refuse to pay the L.A. Times, otherwise known as Pravda West, in order to read their articles. Can anyone post the article in a readable form? As for geniuses, it has been said that Einstein became interested in physics because he surmised that the worlds greatest classical composers had somehow found a way to tap into some form of cosmic rhythms that no one else could hear or see.

Well said, Mac.
And further to the spirit of your comments, I will say that my comments above in this thread may have been overly harsh.
Brian Wilson has his demons, and is pitiable on many levels. And I do feel sorry and pity him for those things.
Yet he is a musical innovator, if not a popular music genius. And for that I respect him.
Still, he needs to temper his unfounded criticism of hunters and hunting, and unless and until he does, my respect for him as a human being will be strongly qualified.
