Quite a coincidence, huh?

Yes. Yes, it is.
A 'somewhat' normal (after all, it's Brian..^^) human being like Brian Wilson wouldn't match the definition of "angel" in any lore or religion I'm familiar with.

Sure, at times he has a certain "angelic" quality about him, especially young Brian singing or Brian (at any age) saying certain things, but the reason it strikes us as special, angelic or out-of-this-world is the simple fact that everything else surrounding Brian and his life is (for better or worse) a very human experience. What is wonderful is how these 'angelic moments' created by Brian make people happy and forget about their own very human experience for the average two and a half minutes.

That at least is similar to certain aspects of the supposed field of work of an angel.
I think the 'Jesus analogy' is actually much closer to Brian's life. Being crucified (by the band) for his beliefs (SMiLE for instance), disappearing for a certain time span and then gloriously returning with something that still carries the beliefs he was given a hard time for, and thus bringing happiness to people (BWPS in 2004). I know, it's all a bit far-fetched and everything, but, you know...
