Brian Wilson made __________ cool

[Shady]

Wearing pants up to your tits whilst showing off your massive package on national television up to 1965. Oh, and bathrobes. 

YES!

[The Heartical Don]

Finishing a magnum opus a mere 37 years after work began.

[Pretty Funky]

Using 'God' in a song title. Not once, but twice!

[The Heartical Don]

Making Iggy Pop first astonished and then half crazy.

Did I miss some very funny video of Brian eating large amount of food on national television? Have you link for that?

"Package" has nothing to do with food!

Oh really? Now I feel like I'm in a very stupid position. What does this mysterious word mean, then, other than "food container"?

Male parts.

We're scraping the bottom of the barrel here. None if this stuff is really "cool"...

[halblaineisgood]

These things aren't cool. more like cruel. Spil, you "maybe" the worst one here...

[Melt Away]

Lmao! It's the real reason why Mike envies Brian.

One of the best conversations I have ever read.

[phirnis]

Lasping into a trance-like state and assuming the lotus position for about two hours while the rest of your colleagues arrive.

Male parts.

also, a package could be a container for anything. I consider anything in a big brown cardboard box a package, for instance. there could be shoes in there. or books. anything, really.

But not male parts. Unless we're talking a sequel to Se7en here.

[Catbirdman]

Brian Wilson made sincerity cool.
(cf. that quote from the Smile era where he stated that sincerity was the new hip; that always resonated with me as an insightful, intuitive bit of self-awareness and commitment to his inimitable art.)

Brian Wilson made silliness, goofball-ness, unconscious humor, and general marshmallow mysticism cool.
(cf. the "Psycodelic Sounds" reel; to me it was an approach that had the potential for sublimity that sadly was never realized, and it baffles me why so many folks, even hardcore fans, see nothing in these exercises.)

....that's the joke.

[Aegir]

I think Brian did make some of these things cool, like destroying your voice through a hedonistic lifestyle. and beards.

never being able to easily explain what you learned from The Wall Of Sound, knowing that it is only through
great study one can comprehend it.

not getting a whole lot of s*** done while you're in the Netherlands?

[Freddie French-Pounce]

Significantly ripping other peoples songs off (Be My Bay -> Don't Worry Baby)

[Lowbacca]

Significantly ripping other peoples songs off (Be My Baby -> Don't Worry Baby)

To be honest, I've never really seen the similitude between those two tracks (apart from both of them being directed at "babies" and having some aspects of instrumentation/production in common).

I think you can play DWB like BMB (see: 73 In Concert, which really plays on it/works) and it's totally written as a girl group tune (didn't Brian want to give it to The Ronettes?). But IDK about a rip-off - one doesn't remind me of the other. The melodies in the verses are a bit similar and they both start in E, mind (DWB changes key sublimely).

[EgoHanger1966]

Phillip Lambert touches on how similar Be My Baby and Don't Worry Baby are in Songwriter 1962-1969. IIRC, the verses share an almost identical chord progression.
