Brian Wilson predicted the future by becoming the first artist to collect a folder of recordings he couldn't figure out how to arrange into a coherent body of work.
I bet he would have listened to 8 bar loops that go nowhere for hours too, given the chance.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.
