Beach Boys fun fact… none of them ever surfed.
SNL once forced Brian Wilson to surf:
I can’t believe I somehow missed this song growing up. Well, by 1968 I was staring to move away from mainstream music. Will have to check out the original and compare.
Actually, Dennis Wilson did surf, but he was the only one.
Dennis Wilson was a surfer.
Well, they didn’t call them The Surf Boys, so fair enough. I can kind of imagine “beach boys” being a surfer pejorative.
… and now they sound compressed.
“Colorado’s own” surf group, The Astronauts, took some of the money they got from their first album to go see what surfing was like. I don’t recall the result.
I’m going to file that in my mind next to the question of why there are so many dive shops in Colorado.
Thanks. The Beach Boys are my favorite group.
they sell dreams of course, but now i want to know if there are mountaineering shops on the Maledives.
You boat wherever there’s water. Folks back in my home town in Colorado buy nice motorized living rooms or whatever for using at a reservoir that’s maybe five miles long. They dive, too.
