- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

That section on the Beach Boys is quite the read.  That is if you are the department chair of a school of music theory!

Jeez!  I wish I understood HALF of it.  I might just as well have picked up an upper level college physics book!

Daniel, at the time of IJWMFTT's filming was a Professor of Music at Eastman University. He's the guy who demonstrates Brian's mudicality at the piano in that film.

That's fun to read. Every time I read a BBs/BW book, this is what I wish I were reading.

Yeah, that's great stuff! Inside the Music of Brian Wilson is another fantastic read.

That book was pretty damn dry and technical...the charts are my favorite parts!!

Well, if you are into music theory it is ok. English isn't my first language but I can read through this mostly without any major problems...
