I've been listening to a bit of Beach Boys lately. Never really sat down and listened to them before. I'm a fan.
They essentially made a career, in the 60s nonetheless, singing songs about all the chicks they banged. It's quite remarkable.
Nachos with garden salsa sun chips for dinner, mini Cadbury eggs for dessert. Like a boss. A fat boss. But a boss.
Your post has me flashing back to HS. Weird how you remember a moment and songs like forever and they aren't even significant moments. Beach Boys = me watching Jeannie, who I had a crush on, roller skating to the Beach Boys Good Vibrations.
Maybe it's just me. Was scanning slides I took of my little sisters HS graduation (valedictorian smart girl) and asked my sister if she remembered the song and slides they did. She did not. I did, Friends by Elton John with a nice dissolve unit two projector slide show of high school "friends". I cannot look at those slides without, boom, hearing Elton John.
For some reason "Good Vibrations" reminds me of the Iowa State Fair? No idea why. I went as a kid once, any idea if they ever played there in the late 80s, early 90s? Maybe it was a cover band or something, but they don't usually do cover bands at the fair do they?
Nice forecast for Ames this week

Dad, get me out of this
Absolutely. His own songs were great anyway, but I don't feel enough people know everything he did for so many musicians other than just writing "Werewolves of London" (which is an awesome song anyway).
My dad had a bunch of their records and then Cds.
It was fun to listen to them as I cleaned the house. I also enjoyed the Somthers Brothers.My dad's records reminded me of the other part of his old stereo system. What was the name of the tape reels that played music, not the small tapes. The bigger reels where it would go through one side and wind up on the other side.
