Wilson is even more impressive when you consider he's on the road with a reunited band supporting their new album, That's Why God Made the Radio, their 29th (!). Canada AM did a great interview with Wilson and Mike Love this week; check it out HERE.
As reporter Beverley Thomson notes, the album soared up the Billboard charts on the strength of rock-solid pop songwriting and those sweet, sweet vocal harmonies. It’s an awesome comeback for the pioneering pop group and we wish Wilson a fantastic day.
And just for giggles, here’s is some Brian Wilson trivia:
He taught himself how to play the piano by watching his father play.
He is deaf in his right ear.
He started writing songs at the age of 5.
The Beach Boys were voted the 12th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artists of all time by Rolling Stone.
Yup, there’s plenty more rock blog:
Feuding rockers kiss and make up
Axl Rose does faceplant in France (watch!)
Rock star wants to dress your dog (video!)
Band releasing 18 singles in 6 months
Nickelback brushes off the haters
Famous rocker mourns death of mother
Good stuff!
I don't necessarily agree with your wording though... "Wilson is even more impressive when you consider he's on the road with a reunited band supporting their new album".
Paul still makes music and tours as well, and if the Beatles hadn't broken up(as well as 2 of them passing), i'm sure he would still be at it too. ;)
