for me. I've hit that age where I've expected the small cabal of my favorite artists and musicians to play off into the final coda. Brian Wilson is the first one of them to hit that dark note.

As an aside, it was his (relatively) recent LP, No Pier Pressure that pulled him up into my Top 10 (now a Top 9).
