I saw the Beach Boys perform in 1966 or 1967 thereabouts at the Lagoon amusement park north of Salt Lake City. They were performing on a small stage elevated about 3 feet from the floor we were dancing on, only feet away from us. One of the Beach Boys was so drunk he fell off the stage. I’m not sure which one it was that fell, but I think it was Dennis. I enjoyed their music, but frankly, I was more interested in the pretty long-haired brunette I was dancing with.
When the coronation of Ronald Reagan was happening, in January of 1981, there were several “Inaugural Balls” in DC. I went to the Youth Ball that featured Reagan’s fellow Californians, The Beach Boys and the Pointer Sisters. It was a great time.
