It's Beach Boys Week: Part the Infinity
So one of our attentive readers recently reminded me about the existence of this Beach Boys think piece I did in the Magazine Formerly Known as Stereo Review back in May 1977(!). I had completely forgotten about it, but upon re-reading, I've decided a) it's one of the goddamn best things I ever wrote; b) it's gotta go into that long-threatened greatest hits book I've been bending your ear about for the last few years and c) I'm too lazy to transcribe it myself this right this minute, so I'm just gonna post the pdf version and if you click on it to enlarge you'll be able to read it with ease.
What a fine, thoughtful read! Get that greatest hits book published, young man.

ReplyDeleteI remember this article very well and I remember really enjoying it at the time. Among other things, it got me interested in hearing the "Wild Honey" album. Thanks for re-posting it, Steve.
