I also found this really good blog post about it. I agree with the author, it's one of the best things Hannon has ever done. Great that it's out there to hear at the touch of a button - but who would know to look for it? queenofpeaches.com/2017/04/29/o...

I finally got around to writing a few things about what Brian Wilson and his music meant to me. I took my time because I wanted to do my best to say it right. queenofpeaches.com/2025/06/24/a...
A Few Brief Thoughts About Brian Wilson on the Occasion of His Death
1.) I’ve been wanting to write a bit about Brian Wilson and his music before too much time elapses after his passing on June 11, 2025. I know I don’t have anything new or particularly original to a…
