Beautiful new version of officially the best book about George Harrison, the brilliant ‘Behind The Locked Door’ by @graemethomson.bsky.social - out now via @omnibuspress.bsky.social

Brian Wilson was a musical genius. Are there any left? In pop, which equates genius with innovation, recent artists have not pioneered new forms like those from the 60s. Has the digital age sidelined invention and promoted the derivative for ever?

In the wake of Brian Wilson's passing, Rachel Aroesti reflects on the scarcity of artistic genius and whether it can even exist in the digital age.

David Leaf, author of SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson weighs in.
