It's been a hard week for anyone who loves music, with the loss of both Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. "I can’t help but think of that other titanic loss from earlier this year too, the passing of David Lynch. Lynch and Wilson strangely occupy similar zones: 'aw shucks gee whiz' mythic American innocence meets eternal teenage romance meets brain bending cosmic expansion meets the absolute depths of loneliness and spectral ennui. There is some strange poetry at work in all of them passing this year. Another closing of an age," writes Jason P. Woodbury in his Range and Basin newsletter. Here, he shares excerpts from a conversation he had with Wilson back in 2015, where they discuss the album "No Pier Pressure," the biopic "Love and Mercy," and how Wilson feels about the preceding decade. "Each year has just got better and better," he said.
