Is there a chance we will see Blondie and Ricky on the 2012 Beach Boys tour?

I suspect That Dennis and Carl might've had something to say about this, had they still been here.

And that something would have been..... *consults medium*..... "Beans!"

I signed the petition, thanks for setting it up.  Love Ricky and Blondie so much, they have to be included.  They were a huge part of two of my favorite BB albums.  Heck, I think the band should add a Flame song to the reunion set ("Don't Worry Bill" gets my vote).

I agree this is not David vs. Ricky/Blondie.  All three should be included. 

I don't get the "it was only 2 or 3 years out of 50" argument.  We can't seriously consider the Beach Boys to have been an active band for 50 years.  They haven't released an album of new material since 1989.  Realistically, their period of greatness ran less than two decades at best (for me it is '62-'79).  Ricky and Blondie were full-fledged members of the band for about 3 very crucial years of that greatness -- and they contributed a lot, both live and in the studio, during that time.

I'd love to see the two sit in on some shows!

I'd also like to see the Rutles as the opening act on the tour.

Even better, maybe the Stones could open for the BBs again; and then let Blondie play a couple of songs. 

I suggest they do "wonderbill"

A nice introduction would be Honeys/Spring doing a few, then the Flame doing a few. Wait, that's one produced by Brian and one by Carl. Let's finish the trifecta and have on Charles Manson come in and do a few in honor of ....never mind   

[SMiLE Brian]

Honeys or the flame would make awesome opening acts.

I'd like the Fleet Foxes to open a few shows

No, The Rutles so Ricky gets a double gig.  He needs the money more than Blonde (who's raked in some serious cash from the Stones tours).

Which also brings the question, who's going to open for the Stones on their 50th tour?

Mic Jagger has always been chicken sh** to get on stage with the Beach Boys!

I'm happy to see David Marks included, but if he counts, Blondie and Ricky should count too, even if it's just for a couple key gigs or a few songs. I absolutely support their inclusion in this anniversary. If anyone wants to organize a petition or anything, I'll be sure to sign on.

David counts on his own for obvious reasons, no "if" conditions required.

I was simply responding to what I read re: "if he counts . . . .".  My point was about David. No objection to Ricky and Blondie's inclusion, would welcome it. Seriously, did you really not understand what was meant by my post?

Wouldn't have posted if I had. His point was about Blondie & Ricky, using David as the argument for including them. It is a style of writing to make a point.
