About this episode
We pay tribute to two musical legends who recently left us - Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Sly and the Family Stone's Sly Stone - while celebrating their revolutionary contributions to music history.
• Brian Wilson, the creative genius behind the Beach Boys, died at age 82 on June 11, 2025
• Wilson's incredible harmonies and arrangements made songs like "In My Room" and "Don't Worry Baby" deeply relatable and timeless
• "Good Vibrations" demonstrates Wilson's production mastery, featuring different musicians recording sections over months
• Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone also passed in June, leaving behind the legacy of psychedelic soul and multiple hit songs
• A look back at The Smiths June 1985 concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC
• We explore our favorite cover songs, from Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails to The Fugees' version of "No Woman, No Cry" to Van Halen covering The KInks "You Really Got Me"
“Music In My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.
