Elton Reads A Book A Week"Killa-B" 'i am Brian Wilson' by Brian Wilson, Ben GreenmanBrian Wilson had a gift, and a curse. His mind worked in a magically musical way, in that he could "see" whole, elaborate songs all in his head. It also allowed him to manifest those wonderful ideas in the real world, via the help of his family and friends. It would lead him to cofound a group that would change pop music forever, and have his particular genius recognized the world over as a unique and singular voice in the pantheon of singer-songwriters and composers.His mind was also his worst enemy that would send him spiraling into...

FunkologiaSly Stone i ciężar bycia geniuszemNa przełomie lat 60. i 70. XX wieku, nikt nie miał wątpliwości, że artystą, który wyznacza nowe kierunki jest Sly Stone i jego zespół Sly & The Family Stone. Nie tylko jego muzyka łamała dotychczasowe standardy, ale sam zespół szokował, mieszając na scenie kobiety z mężczyznami i czarnych z białymi. Jednak to twórczość Sly Stone’a sprawiała, że zespół zdobywał nowe szczyty popularności, a sam muzyk stawał się głosem pokolenia. Czy to właśnie ciężar sławy i odpowiedzialności, jaka towarzyszy wszystkim czarnym twórcą osiągającym sukces w Ameryce, doprowadził ostatecz...

But for Brian it’s not that easy. He’s quickly losing control. He’s betrayed by those meant to be closest to him. And one of his brothers is flirting with a dark and disturbing group of people living on the fringes of society…a so-called family that may or may not infiltrate the warm and sunny climes of the Beach Boys’ world.

The drug proved to be a point of contention with other band members, who bristled at Brian's newfound mind-altering methodology. Brian's LSD intake didn't just spark arguments between the Beach Boys. LSD made a black-and-white appear in Technicolor for the first time. It made water taste like it fell straight from heaven.
