I personally think its elitist and plain stupid to taunt an entire group of fanatics with an OPINION of an album no one else has heard. Just my two cents. It's not like AGD's opinion changes anything about the album, except our distorted perceptions.
But this is how the guy thrives and feeds his bloated self-importance. It seems to work, too, because many venerate the guy for simply knowing Beach Boys minutiae and being petty and condescending about it. It reminds me somewhat of a sado-masochistic relationship.
I couldn't disagree more -- AGD doesn't suffer fools (as I've found out myself when I've been foolish in the past) but the hint-dropping isn't about self-importance but rather about actually giving out information. *Obviously* he's not going to tell anyone confidential information that can't be shared, because not only would he stop getting that information but it would also be an unethical way to behave. But just the odd "that's not what I've heard" or "yes, that would be interesting, wouldn't it?" can, in the right context and with a bit of thought from the reader, tell us a huge amount.

Do you think I'm in the know now, too? Because I might not be.

Difference is I've known AGD online for about 15 years, off and on, and in that time I've *very* rarely known him to make a statement of fact or a prediction about the band that hasn't turned out to be true. I've also seen him stood at the back of the stage watching gigs while I've just been in the audience, and seen him thanked in several Beach Boys related CD releases. That tends to suggest to me that he *does* have contacts inside the organisation, and *does* have information we don't have. Which makes it worthwhile trying to figure out what some of his more gnomic statements actually mean.

Leave AGD alone, he has no reason to tell anyone anything.
So, forget it guys.

Exactly. The man has better connections than anyone else here, with the exceptions of folks like Mark or Alan, neither of whom post much anymore. He is plugged in, but he does not tell tales out of school.

Not sure why this has veered off in the direction of doubting the guy’s connections. People sometimes have a funny way of misconstruing something and running with it. I certainly don’t doubt that he has connections, and i don’t see how anyone could doubt that. But who cares? It’s how he behaves, his attitude, and his pettiness that, i think, make him miserable. It was a comment on his general disposition and the sort of pompous role he seems to play in the fan community, not a veiled attempt to coax him into divulging information. On the contrary, it would be cool if he didn’t say anything at all. That is all. Let’s talk about something else, please. I only commented on it because it had already been brought up by someone. How about them surf boyz?

1. Andrew...why are you sharing your (albeit unfortunately limited) thoughts on the album with the Hoffman crowd and not us? Aren't we really your favorites? So, you DON"T think Shelter and Isn't it Time are classics? Are they "semi" or "almost" classics, then???
2. Per Amazon, vinyl release pushed to July 3 ?!?
1 - because no-one offered me an exclusive here.
This I'll say: the last great classic BB song (or two) will shortly be arriving. Think "elegiac".
2 - neither know nor give flying one.

My dear sir, I may be many things, including much of what you say, but miserable I'm not. Especially not right now. Oh no.

And would your un-miserableness be related to your having heard a certain new album by a California band?

See, there is a BIG difference, for me, between getting excited because of certain information and being taunted by certain information. This particular information has me EXTREMELY excited. I thank you AGD, didn't mean to spark off something of this nature.

Would be better if it were best since 1977... LA Light is fine I guess, so looking forward to it!

Does anybody else think that "From There to Back Again" would have made a better album title than the overly long "That's Why God Made the Radio?"
