    Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson dead at 82

    Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys founder and lead songwriter, has died, his family confirmed on social media. He was 82.

    "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," they wrote. "We are at a loss for words right now."

    They added, "Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world."

    The Beach Boys began with Brian and his two brothers, Carl and Dennis. Eventually, they were joined by their cousin, Mike Love, and a friend from school, Al Jardine. The band is one of the most commercially successful groups of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

    In January 1963, The Beach Boys recorded their first top-10 single, "Surfin' U.S.A.," which began their long run of highly successful recording efforts...

    There were 3 Wilson brothers on the Beach Boys band? The middle one co-starred with James Taylor in the hotrod cult movie "Two-Lane Blacktop".

    I saw an interview with Brian and Dan Rather, and Brian, I think it was Brian, had an encounter with Charles Manson, but I don't remember the story. Ah, found a link.
