First concert I ever went to in 1988 with my aunt. Wouldn't it be Nice was my first "song" with my first girlfriend in high school. You gave so much to all of us, Brian. You earned the rest.
People ask who the current version of this kind of genius is for pop music, and between the one man band element, turns as a composer, and general weirdness and reclusiveness, Trent Reznor is probably who comes to mind for me, but even his heyday was 30 years ago. I have no idea who in their 20s might have this kind of impact. Let us appreciate these people while we can.
