NOTE: This space is devoted to
news/updates and information on the
Beach Boys that appears in news
outlets around the world. The
Beach Boys have entered public
consciousness to such a degree that
new bands are compared with them,
their songs are played at numerous
functions, and their names are
frequently mentioned in the same
breath with Summer, the California
dream, and of course, surfing and
cars. Since I began collecting
these stories, I've been amazed at how
far and how deeply the Beach Boys'
influence has penetrated. Their
music has reshaped people's ideas of
American Pop Music and the subjects
they sang about continue to
resonate worldwide. Check

about Brian Wilson and the Beach
Boys and for news of updates

UPDATE:
This
week at The
Drive-In:
Just in time for the
inauguration! (Thanks,
Alexis!)
UPDATE:
This
week on Open Mic: I
actually had to
cut a really
good cover due
to SO many
versions of the
same song.
(So. Many.
Covers. Of "God
Only Knows!")
