Here's the link.

Alan obviously highly values Bruce and David's presence in terms of band "completeness."
But he is jet-lagged, so we'll forgive him. Mike being "unavailable" is admirably tactful.

...or Blondie and Ricky's.

Come on Zargo. You know what he means. He's talking about these guys...

The guys that the world, for the most part, knows as "THE BEACH BOYS"...

Now I love Blondie, Dave, Ricky and (gulp) Bruce (sh*t, I love Surfers' Pajama Party) much as anybody, but that photo right there...that's The Beach Boys.


Title: Re: Al Jardine interview before the gig in Dubai

The topic title read like Al is going to publish his biography. But it's interview - I'm not fan of interviews, unless they're videoed. There's too many of them & I've not patience to read every single thing they utter. & anybody. The interviews in general don't interest me. There're exceptions though, like 2013/14 Rock Cellar magazine interviews.
