Doesn't ring any bells with me either... what's the tale?  (before you answer that I'll do a search...)

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.
