Beach Boys on CBS Sunday Morning 4/29/12

[Jaspy]

Thanks, you rock!

[STE]

Thank you!!

[tpesky]

Al's facial expressions when Mike talks are quite humorous...

[Fall Breaks]

Thanks for posting!

[NHC]

Great.  Thanks so much (usually watch Osgood et. al.  before heading for church, but for some reason didn't this morning - glad I checked the board).

[Lowbacca]

Bruce: "Rubber Soul..... [helpless hand gesture] best Beatles album..." - How very true. Bruce is ma' man.

Mike: "Brian said 'How can a 70-year-old sound like that?'".
Brian: "I didn't mean that in a bad way. That was a compliment!"

 


Generally a well-produced segment on the BBs. Nice.

Here you are folks!

Thanks so much.  I really enjoyed it.  The interviews were candid, hit the "high and low notes," gracefully, with a great attitude and gratitude for the opportunity to do a reunion tour and album work. 

Brian is a hero and inspiration to many as a real survivor.  I hope he knows it.

Brian on "monday,monday" winning a grammy- "oh my god"

It`s interesting just how dominant Mike is in these interviews.

That's the kind of guy Mike is. 

[Mikie]

Saw this this morning on TV. Somebody did their homework on the story and got it right.  Covered a lot of bases and I thought it was very well done.

He ain't dominant in the sense that he's oppressing the other guys. He's simply the spokesman of the band (in a sense he's always been), he's good at this kind of stuff. I'm sure it's something the guys agreed upon for the reunion press coverage, and this interview in particular, and it's the right decision.

Shame though that we didn't see a sentence out of Dave, really. There's a snippet where he's clearly answering a question, just with some BBs song audible instead of his voice. Guess they took all of that out to focus on Mike & Brian.

It was really good. Only sore thumb was them saying Smile was an answer to Sgt. Peppers.

Indeed. I wasn`t criticizing Mike. It`s just so blatant here that he and Brian are the band leaders. I do wonder how Al feels about everything. First the decision was made that the backing band would be made up of none of his musicians and his son was also not included, then his songs were apparently omitted from the new CD and also songs that he was hoping to perform in concert like California Saga and Looking at Tomorrow have been left out.

Fantastic piece, TWGMTR sounds great

But he gets all the ladies!

a) Brian & Mike got the better touring musicians (who also toured far more with the material than Al's people).
b) As far as I know Matt Jardine wasn't up to the task vocally, plus they needed Foskett to include Brian and thus would have had two CEOs of Falsetto on board.
c) As of yet they played only a handful of gigs - who knows what tunes they will add later on the tour? Plus, Al's got WIBN, HMR, CF etc. so far - I think he's okay with that.

[othereric]

Anyone else notice the clip of them practicing the National Anthem backstage? They sounded great! Now I'm pissed off all over again about that performance's wall of Foskett's.

[urbanite]

The best thing Mike said, was basically you can dwell on the past or live in the present.  I totally agree with him, make the most of your life now, and not dwell on slights of the past.

Where did you hear that Matt wasn`t up to the task vocally?

That green bra makes-up for all of this.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Fantastic interview. Wonderful to see them all sitting together.

Generally a well-produced segment on the BBs. Nice.

When Mike and Brian banter like that, it's the best.  Sort of like when they argued about where they wrote Fun Fun Fun.  I think they are at their most affectionate when they have that slightly barbed back-and-forth.

"You're getting senile!"
"YOU are!"

[Emdeeh]

Mike: The Grammy went to Monday, Monday
Brian: OH MY GOD, REALLY?

I guess they'd rather (mis)remember that the Grammy went to a quality song instead of "Winchester Cathedral," a novelty number.
