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 consiousness 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 here to
read what is being said about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
every
day, and for news of updates to this site.
