...Didn't see it, but I'm gonna go look now.<br /><br />But you don't have to convince me about the brilliance of the backup band -- those are the guys who've been playing with Brian for over a decade, and they are the fucking best rock group on the planet. From the Wondermints on up.<br /><br />And I'm posting some new music by one of those guys on Thursday.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-39782774231885755552012-05-08T15:33:07.765-04:002012-05-08T15:33:07.765-04:00Did you catch the Beach Boys on Fallon last night?...Did you catch the Beach Boys on Fallon last night?<br /><br />I'm still on the fence about this reunion. I think the backup band is doing more (i.e., singing) than they're getting credit for. Also, Brian did not look good at all. In fact, Love had to take his hand and guide him off the platform after the interview portion. Oh, yeah...and Mike Love is still a dick.stevesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-22578273154390158682012-05-08T12:47:20.842-04:002012-05-08T12:47:20.842-04:00Well, it's rock and roll, so the lyrics don...Well, it's rock and roll, so the lyrics don't matter.

That being said, the FLIPS are a much better band when they stick to their own material. They have gimmicks in the way they perform that can only be pulled off with their own music. It just comes across as trying too hard when its someone else's songs.<br />-Blake SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
