Brian Wilson told the story of how Don Henley once came backstage after a concert. The Eagles co-founder arrived clutching his copy of Pet Sounds, the Beach Boys’ classic 1966 album, and told Wilson how much their music had inspired him when he was younger.

Keen to have Wilson autograph the album, he watched as Wilson picked up a Sharpie and wrote: “To Don – thanks for all the great songs.” Henley turned to leave but Wilson called him back and, grabbing the record, crossed out “great” and replaced it with “good”.

Henley took it well.

Always sad when one of our music heroes dies. RIP to one of the world’s greatest songwriters and a true inspiration for those dealing with mental illness.

Oceanside/San Diego better step up and make a tribute to his enormous contributions.
