The Smiley Smile Message Board

DENNIS: "We got so excited hearing it on the radio, Carl threw up and I ran down the street screaming. That's Why God Made the Radio is so good it makes Summer in Paradise stink!"

CARL: It's got a spirtual quality to it. And there is a people connect to it, because people are spirt, so...

BRIAN: Man "That's Why God Made The Radio", there is a lot of love in that record.  In the voices you know? The voices and the love and Mike Love and there is just a lot of love in the record.

 :lol  Why are we so good at this.  Beyond obsessed, I suppose.

VDP: No comment.

Mike Love : Spring Vacation. In a mid-60's Beach Boys style, is light and fun-totally for the young.

VDP: Did you know that the salad wedge was actually designed by evil restaurateurs bent on providing you with 20% less lettuce per salad? That sums up how I feel about the new Beach Boys record: not at all. No comment.

"Which album? That's Why God Made The Radio? I feel it in my soul. It was a nutbuster."

Someone do Murry.  Come on someone do Murry!  ;)

Murry:  "Needs more syncopation.  Like this.  Is-n't IT time WE bop de doo bop dee bop."

'Murry' always makes me laugh.

Brian: "It's my favorite album because Ringo Starr told me it's his favorite album."

Haha, did he actually really said that before?

:lol :lol :lol

"C'mon fellas. The Private Life of Ba-Doo-Bee-Dee-Doo-Bah-Bah and Sue. Get on that kick. What's a matter Mike, you made enough money in royalties for the lyrics in Spring Vacation, buddy?"

Brian- After we finish the tour I'm going to bring the boys into the studio and make a ROCK N ROLL album. You know with guitars, bass, and drums and piano. Just like Phil Spector.

Mike - It's probably the best album we've done since All Summer Long

ROTFLOL  :lol

Jack Rieley: Well, they blew it. Do you have a couple of bucks I could borrow? I've got this damn landlord.

Al: Forever. Forever memories.

Carol Kaye: "Did you know that I played all the bass parts on this album? Honestly."

Brian presented the 28 songs to Capitol with his face painted green.

Jann Wenner: "Just one prominent example of a group that had gotten hung up trying to catch Paul McCartney."

 :lol This thread just made my day!!!

"You gotta surge on the power"

DW - The pitch correction is an embarrassment to my life. It should auto-destruct.

DENNIS: "That's Why God Made The Radio is an embarrassment to my life. It should self-destruct.. I hope that the karma will f*** up Mike Love’s meditation forever".







Just joking.

Charles Manson: "That's Why God Made the Radio is a nightclub. "Spring Vacation" means confusion. Literally. It doesn't mean any war with anyone. It doesn't mean that those people are going to kill other people. It only means what it means. "The Private Life of Bill and Sue" is confusion. Confusion is coming down fast. If you don't see the confusion coming down fast, you can call it what you wish. It's not my conspiracy. It is not my music. I hear what it relates. It says 'Rise!' It says 'Kill!' Why blame it on me? I didn't write the music. I am not the person who projected it into your social consciousness."

Al: "It's a great album, Man, great album.... like my album A Postcard From California that I just got out, that's a great album too, I got Gerry Beckley on there and Steve Miller, we had a blast on that album. The Beach Boys?, yeah, they're on there too, on Don't Fight The Sea, that took a long time to get done, we started it way back in the 70's and worked on it on and off since then."

Hey Al.. you forgot to mention Brian.. WILSON!

 :-D

Mike: That's Why God Made the Radio proves that Cousin Brian can still take these amazing chords and then layer them with beautiful, beautiful harmonies. It's all about the harmonies you know? A lot of groups don't know how to arrange vocals for shit, for example, The Rolling Stones, and that's why we're at the top and they aren't.

Brian: It's called 'That's Why God Made the Radio'

Dave: I played on the first 5 songs with them

Mike: The reason this album means so much to so many people is because of ME! Brian is meloncoly. I am mr positive thinker.

Bruce: The best  song on the album is Day Break Over the Ocean which shows Mike's genius.

Blondie: I've got my own gig, what are you asking me for?

Bruce: The new album? Save up your pennies and get it, my friend. Now, we are finished talking about it. You hear me? I said, we are FINISHED TALKING ABOUT IT.

Carl: a bunt instead of a grand slam.

Brian: What you want a "409" sound on "Pacific Coast Highway".....

Carl:  I asked Brian one time, I guess we were just on a long conversation about life and some of things we have been through,  why "That's Why God Made the Radio" succeeded in such a big way, why it hit number three on the charts. He said because it celebrates the joy of life. The music on that album just celebrates the joy of life in a REAL simple way.

John Stamos: "I wish "Full House" was still on the air so the band could promote it on the show."

Al Jardine: "For the new music video, I wanted to remake that scene where the goat tries to attack me in the 1976 "It's OK" TV special."

Tom Petty: "Brian clearly *didn't* stick his head between two pieces of buttered bread for this album!"

David Marks: "We picked up right where we left off, just like the old days when I lived across the street from the Wilsons. Er, well, the "we" that included me left off in 1963, unless we're talking about the 1999 version of "we", which didn't sound anything like this new album. Phil Bardowell was a cool guy, though."

Brian Wilson: "This album came out of my throat and into the audience."

Mike Love: "We finally settled on the album title after my suggestion of "Unleash the Beach Boys" was inexplicably turned down."

Bruce Johnston: "No, seriously, Democrats are free to buy the album too!"

Ricky Fataar: "Wait, it's already the Rutles' 50th Anniversary?"

Adrian Baker: "I'm on the album too!"

Brian:  "It's like this great big album just came out of us five baby chicks.  NOBODY KNOWS HOW THAT'S DONE! And you ask us about it afterwards, and it's like we're all cool about it, you know?"

Mike:  If Adele and The Beach Boys got together and did a Super Session album, it would be a gas.

Audree: "Brian Douglas Wilson, I made you let Dennis be in the band once, and I can do it again!"

Dennis: "Mom, I think you and Carl would agree when I say Wouldn't It Be Nice to Live Again!"

Brian: "It's like an album where one song goes into the next song until there's no more album"

Wait! Brian really did say this!!!  :o

The entire group: "Does this mean we all have to appear on a late night talk show peforming in tight leather pants and dancing without instruments, like Brian did in 1988?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGfwkkm-GQI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGfwkkm-GQI)

Bruce: "Is "Friday's" still on the air? We did that show in 1980!"

Brian: "I remember when we did the Ed Sullivan show back in 1964. How is Ed doing these days?"

Al: "Okay, but on the next album *I* get to fly in a song from an unreleased solo album!"

Matt Jardine: "Hey, wasn't I *kind of* in the band in the 90's?"

Mike: "Okay, so who gets the backing band in our group divorce settlement?"

I salute you, Mr Taber.
