Surf's Up: Farvel, Mr. Beach Boy

from Only in America · host RADIO IIII

The Beach Boys var lyden af sol, surf og ungdom – den californiske drøm i musikform. Men bag de glade toner stod et skrøbeligt geni. Nu har vi mistet Brian Wilson, frontmand i gruppen, sangskriver og en af amerikansk musiks største skikkelser. I denne udsendelse hylder vi Wilsons liv og musik – fra rivaliseringen med The Beatles til mørkere kapitler med psykisk sygdom og forbindelse til både kultleder Charles Manson og den manipulerende psykolog Eugene Landy. Vi ser tilbage på en mand, der satte standarden for amerikansk pop og på et Californien, der dengang – og nu – har brug for drømmen han skabte.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
