91 years old. He co-wrote so many classic tunes.

(To make it BB-related, one of his more famous works w/ Burt Bacharach was Walk On By)

When reached for comment, Burt Bacharach said, "I'm at a loss for words."

RIP Hal David, glad you lived a long life and thankful for your contributions to my listening experiences.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Hal David, what a fine lyricist. I'm gonna listen to What the World Needs Now in his honor.

Such a great, powerful lyricist and one half of the team who wrote so many of the greatest songs ever written. Going to spin 'This Guy's In Love With You'.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
