Patrick Leonard on Genius: The Unmatched Legacy of Stevie Wonder | Mick Unplugged

I talked about the word genius. And in my little thing that I started to write, which I didn't use this part of it, but something that occurred to me is I said, you know, in your mind, think of people that you think are geniuses that are alive right now. And if you can think of more than three, you don't know what a genius is, okay? And the things I've said over, you know, decades is, I say, when Beethoven was alive, everyone else was trying just as hard as he was, but you can't think of anybody else, you know, and it's that sort of thing. And so what I've said for a long time is, I said, 100 years from now, it's going to be Stevie Wonder and everybody else. That's really how I feel about it. Steve maybe just defined it all to me and will always be that guy who's like, that's it, man. That's a genius. And I got to work with him and spend some time with him at his house, and that was, wow.
