   Yeah, there are glimmers of hope, but... McCartney and Dylan are still   
   relatively trendy (especially Dylan among pretentious teenagers!) I   
   can't say it is really "cool" to like Brian Wilson within the general   
   public. I'm the first to admit that my boyfriend and I (both big BW   
   fans) are completely unfashionable. I just don't know if Brian fits the   
   Grammy pseudo-music image.
