definitely more than just "problematic", he did some very deplorable things but he was also an amazing producer and songwriter and heavily inspired my fave (Brian Wilson)

An unmatched talent in the realm of composition who explored and found the existential mystery of music and why it matters. Brian Wilson discovered that the point of picking up an instrument, of singing with your friends, of writing a song about something that matters to you, is to make someone smile. He has left a void in the world of music that will never be filled again.
Take some time today and sing along to Pet Sounds, or close your eyes and listen to a piano demo of Surf's Up. If you can spare just one minute today, use it to hear him goofing around on Ding Dang.
Brian Wilson was - and in a way still is - a genius. There will never be someone like him again, but, as Neil Young said "This music will live forever."

Very much worthwhile to go deep on this guy, who produced the likes of Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, early Bob Dylan, early Simon & Garfunkel, the Mothers of Invention and the Velvet Underground. Also The Animals, including this gem:

Dave is the best pop producer in the world, the universe and beyond. He immediately gets βitβ. His work is always so complex & so layered, but it always is the right exact amount of shimmery pop specialness in exactly the right places. My album would not have been possible without him.

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to
