Sure, Brian Wilson has had emotional problems for over 40 years. That's pretty hard to deny. But I don't think he's capable of any coherent philosophy of any kind. Yes, Mike Love went through his TM stage in the late 60s, but like many from that era recovered and is now a practicing Republican who was a friend of Ronald Reagan. Despite the flashes of weirdness in their personal lives, the music the Beach Boys will always be known for celebrated normalcy and good times. Now I feel a need to run over to the sound system and put on "I Get Around" and "Dance Dance Dance." My four speed dual quad positraction 409.
"Keep an eye on summer" and "your summer dream", too.
I'll have to go along with you on that. Whenever I hear "Little Deuce Coupe" or "I get around", it simply does not conjure up images of Beelzebub,bub.
