    Brian Wilson. The genius of geniuses behind The Beach Boys. Had a few mental issues but battled back to do some amazingly good stuff later in his life.

    George Martin called him a true musical genius and the Mozart of his age. Not going to argue

    Great TV series. The 80s one. Think there was a remake.
