Brian Wilson overcame partial deafness, stage fright, mental illness, and drug addiction to write, produce, and perform some of the most influential music of the 1960s. In a 1977 interview he discussed what he believed as "music power", the power to heal and change lives in a positive way.

By the late 60s PEANUTS’ appeal was universal: It was beloved by young and old, by the intelligentsia as well as the masses; While Charles Schulz had existentialist and humanist leanings worthy of Jean-Paul Sartre, his concerns were also that of the youth and especially the recently discovered ‘teenager’. Another California based artist whose concerns very much mirrored those of Schulz was Beach Boy Brian Wilson. In 1966, while the rest of the band was on tour, he wrote and completed what is critically considered to be one of the finest records ever made, Pet Sounds. The complex musical arrangements and lyrics earned Wilson the ‘genius’ tag, deconstructing what is was to be a young person in such turbulent times.
