Brian Wilson is one of the greatest American songwriters of all time, hands down-I could listen to him croon "Little wah-uuuuuuuunn" all day, and probably will.
Second and foremost: I really respect Rowling and Harry Potter-sometimes I talk some shit, true, but I really do respect what she did for our generation because there is no other book series like that for my age group. I certainly am not a Potter-tard/fanatic whatever you want to call it, but I loved the experience at the time of following them all (yes, I got the last three at the midnight they came out and finished them promptly), and it has this absurd bonding ability between people our age, even now...so, kudos, Rowling, kudos.
